Reply to "Chewing tobacco"

Smokeless tobacco has been seen as a "mainstream" substance in baseball. You see professionals every year using with the thought of this product making you more "relaxed" at the plate or in the field. This is not a product that should be taken lightly and many programs have wisely taken a stance against chew as it has been proven to slow your reaction time and you make a good point ... why would you want a slower reaction time when playing this game?

On another note, I wouldn't say it is the most attractive thing to do as you certainly are not playing in the favor of any women at the ball fields.
