HARRY STEVENS
Name: Harry Mozley Stevens
Born: 1855 London, UK.
Died: 1934
Business executive, born in London, UK. He emigrated to Ohio in 1882, winning in
1887 the first of the baseball park concessions that would launch him as the pre-eminent
food concessionaire at America's ballparks, racetracks, and convention centres.
In the early 1900s he introduced frankfurters in rolls at the New York Polo
Grounds, and became the hot dog king by shifting baseball fare from lemonade
and ice-cream to frankfurters, peanuts, and soda. His son Frank M Stevens (1880-1965)
continued expanding the business.
