"Pronk" is the nickname of Cleveland Indians designated hitter Travis Hafner. The nickname was given to him by former teammate Bill Selby during spring training of 2001 when people would sometimes refer to him as "The Project" and other times "Donkey" for the way he looked when running the bases.[1]
In April 2006, Malley's Chocolates of Cleveland unveiled the 'Pronk Bar', a milk chocolate candy bar named in honor of Hafner.[2]
Hafner's new product, "Pronk Beef Jerky" hit shelves in mid-2007. [3]
