I just wanted to tell everyone that my pathology reports came back and my mouth is cancer free! I did have some abnormal cells but the dentist thinks he removed enough of the affected area that with regular chekups and most importantly no more tobacco use, that I should be fine! Thank you for all of the well wishes and prayers. It is a load off my mind! Baseball players..stay away from spit tobacco. It will give you cancer. If I continue to use, I am signing a contract with cancer. Learn from my mistakes, and chew gum, eat seeds, mint, whatever, just get that stuff out of your mouth. It does not help you become a better player and when you do make to the pros and you are playing for me, I will make you take it out of your mouth anyway! Baseball is cracking down on tobacco use in the minor leagues. The fines are heavy! I know big leaguers on TV are doing it, but that doesn't make it right. There are many habits those guys practice that are not honorable. CHEW SUGARLESS GUM!
