(Reading, PA) - The Reading Phillies, proud Double-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies since 1967 -- the longest affiliation in all of baseball, are set to debut their newest ballpark food item - the "Baseballtown Big Dipper", on Saturday, June 11, and will be looking for "hungry fans" to come out to America's Classic Ballpark to taste this wonderful treat. In celebration of this new ballpark fare, the club will hold a special pre-game eating contest on-field before Saturday's game.

"This is the king of all ice cream creations," said R-Phils GM Scott Hunsicker. "What better way to enjoy a game at America's Classic Ballpark, then to treat yourself, and your entire family, to 24 scoops of delicious ice cream' Then, when you're done, you can wear the batting helmet (you might want to rinse it out first)."

VIST Financial Plaza gates open at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, and ice cream fans will want to make it out to the ballpark early so that they can be the first to try this masterpiece. The "Baseballtown Big Dipper" consists of 24 scoops of ice cream, with your choice of flavors, Dippin Dots topping of your choice, Swedish fish and/or sour patch kids to garnish, and as many spoons as you need, in a full size R-Phils batting helmet - all for just $25! This delicious treat will be available at the 3B Ice Cream Stand beginning on Saturday, June 11.
