Named after our National Pastime, Ball Park® Brand is an essential part of TWO quintessential American activities: BASKING IN FREEDOM and THE BACKYARD BARBECUE! We are unapologetically proud to be the maker of great-tasting, grill-worthy food that's meaty, juicy and as bold as the AMERICAN SPIRIT. Ball Park® Brand makes good times even better.
History
The Ball Park® Brand was launched in 1957 in response to a request from the owner of the Detroit Tigers baseball team. The Ball Park® Frank quickly became such a success that it was expanded nationally. Ball Park® is now a national premium brand of hot dogs with a reputation for great taste and quality.
Today, you can find Ball Park® franks in supermarkets, convenience stores, and ball parks across America. Since 1957, Ball Park® has been focused on making hot dogs that are meaty, juicy, and bold.
