It was all a cheap publicity stunt. One of the regulation features of early ballparks, supposedly, was a gigantic billboard advertising Bull Durham tobacco, inevitably located out in left field, near the pitchers' warm-up area. Hence the bullpen was the pen near the Bull. (Which, frankly, sounds like a lot of bull to me.)
Why do they call it a bullpen? Quick Answer. There are many contradictory theories about the origin of the term bullpen in baseball. The most prevalent theory claims that the term arose because Bull Durham tobacco placed ads in every ballpark in the nation in 1910 and pitchers used the shade of the Bull Durham signs to warm up.
