Chewing

I noticed Ryan Howard chewing tobacco tonight and I thought about why so many baseball players chew. I don't really understand.

Very simple reason, You get your nicotine without hurting your run time or Cardio. I dip (nasty habit i picked up in the Army) so I notice just about every player who does. Nick Swisher pretty much always has a huge dip in.

Why is it so prevalent in baseball as compared to other sports? Since they're sitting around more than in other sports or something?

Calms you down like a mofo.

I'm sure there's plenty of people who do it in other sports, but they're not going to let you spit on the floor in basketball. I'm sure no one likes being tackled into dip spit on the football field. It doesn't really affect anything in baseball in regards to the field, and it's allowed. I'm sure it becomes habit, like some people always have to smoke when they drink. I'm guessing it's just habit that these players dip when they play baseball.

That's my take on it..

It's true and with baseball it's pretty important to kind of calm down. My most successful days at the plate was days where I was chewing. I hate to say that chewing was the reason or whatever, it wasn't a HUGE sample size it was just kinda weird.

Apparently Howard didn't see the high school class film with the Black Hairy Tongue.

Definitely scared me away from the tobaccy.

Yeah..Ive tried it and never liked it. I prefer the good old "Wacky Tabaccy" to clam me down

I would love to see baseball players be able to walk into the batters box with a joint hanging from their mouth.

What about the film with the guy that has no chin or jaw or whatever it was that he lost. Looks like the dude from that new movie "The Box"
