Only Guy Fieri would turn a song into a food staple.

In the early 1970s, a career copywriter at Detroit’s Campbell Ewald ad agency combined four All-American items into an inescapably catchy commercial jingle. James Hartzell’s “Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie, and Chevrolet,” song debuted on TV and the radio in 1974 and it caused immediate buzz with immediate impact. Almost 30 years later, Car & Driver named “Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie, and Chevrolet” as the co-best car commercial of all time.

Chevrolet announced that “Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie, and Chevrolet” are back on the menu this summer — and this time, they mean it literally. The Detroit-based company has partnered with chef, restaurateur, and Food Network superstar Guy Fieri to combine the apple pie and hot dog parts of the iconic commercial, and the ultra-limited edition concession will make its debut at the MLB at Field of Dreams game on Thursday, August 12.

“I’ve been a Chevy fan my whole life, since I was a little kid,” Fieri told Food & Wine. “The first hot rod I ever owned was a ’71 Chevelle, which I still have. When I was a kid, it went right up the middle: were you a Ford guy or a Chevy guy, and I was always a Chevy guy.”

Right now, the apple pie hot dogs will only be available once, at Thursday night’s game between the Chicago White Sox and the New York Yankees, which is being played at an 8,000 seat stadium near the Field of Dreams movie site in Dyersville, Iowa.

He’s also optimistic that the apple pie hot dog will be back at some point in the future. “It’s just too fun, too iconic, too memorable, and it’s got too many good things about it,” he said. “I don’t think this is gonna be our last game.”

For now, we will just make our own until it’s big comeback!
