America's pastime scores the nation's No. 1 'Pretzels, Baby!' on National Pretzel Day

At eight ballparks across the country, street teams will give away tens of thousands of bags of boldly flavored Snyder's of Hanover® Pretzel Pieces to honor one of America's most beloved snacks. The brand is also partnering with big-league baseball players, including Albert Pujols, Hanley Ramirez and Zack Wheeler, to promote the holiday by sharing the "Pretzels, Baby" message on Instagram and Twitter.

"Pretzels and baseball are two American favorites, so National Pretzel Day is the perfect opportunity to unite them," said Rod Troni, chief marketing officer of Snyder's of Hanover's parent company, Snyder's-Lance. "We hope all the fans who try our hearty, crunchy, bold and baked pretzels will agree this substantial snack hits a homerun for taste." 

Thousands of free bags of Pretzel Pieces in flavorful varieties such as Honey Mustard & Onion, Hot Buffalo Wing, Jalapeno and S'mores will be available to fans around the following stadiums:

• Baltimore – Oriole Park at Camden Yards
• Boston – Fenway Park
• Chicago – Guaranteed Rate Field

Snyder's of Hanover encourages fans to visit its Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages for product giveaways throughout the day and to tag photos or posts on social media using #PretzelsBaby and #NationalPretzelDay to join in the celebration.

"Snyder's of Hanover Pretzel Pieces are great for any day or activity," said Troni. "But we're especially excited to celebrate 'Pretzels, Baby' with baseball fans across the country on April 26."

Walker of Pennsylvania, then re-declared by Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell in 2003 to acknowledge the importance of the pretzel to Keystone State's history and economy.
