It appears there is a major push going on in the MLB upper ranks to rid the use of smokeless tobacco. It has already been banned in college and minor leagues (tongue in cheek).
I'm split down the middle on this one. I used these products when I was a young man playing ball. Chewing it while playing was like NASCAR and beer, it was just the thing to do. It was part of the game IMO.
My son does now and I have no problem with it (except I'm the one paying for it!), but I kinda do wish he'd quit (which he may where he is now this year). But for his health, I do more than anything.
I just wonder how they are going to pass something like this in MLB and police it? Some guy is going to be on the ballfield with a ticket book in hand writing tickets for chewing? lol.
