The Kansas City T-Bones and THANASI Foods have announced that BIGS Sunflower Seeds will be the “official sunflower seeds” for the T-Bones during the 2013 season.

As part of the agreement, BIGS Sunflower Seeds will be in the T-Bones dugout and the sunflower seeds will be available at the concession stands at CommunityAmerica Ballpark. BIGS come in seven flavors: Salted & Roasted Original, Vlasic Dill Pickle, Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Wing, Bacon Salt Sizzlin’ Bacon, Hidden Valley Ranch, and Sea Salt & Black Pepper.

“We are excited to have BIGS Sunflower Seeds as a part of the T-Bones,” said Ryan Stos, T-Bones Sales Executive. “Our fans are going to have access to a delicious product that offers a lot of variety through their flavors. It’s a perfect partnership – baseball & sunflower seeds!”

We look forward to working together this season and many to come.”
