ABOUT THE LITTLE SLUGGER

The Little Slugger was born more than 20 years ago when Tino Antonacci took his three sons to an ice cream shop after a Little League game. While waiting in line, Tino’s son was playing with his baseball bat. Something clicked and Tino got the idea for a cone in the shape of a bat: The Little Slugger!

In 1994, Antonacci opened The Little Slugger Ice Cream Shop within his restaurant in Chicago, where he served ice cream with The Little Slugger Cones to thousands of children and
their families.

Today, after the big game, the whole team and all your fans will love The Little Slugger. It's A Hit Every Time!
