Switch To Spinach, Like Popeye

You know, I almost forgot that San Francisco banned chewing tobacco from baseball parks, which means, specifically, Giants games at AT&T Park. It's now going into effect, and visiting teams are subject to it, too. I hate chewing tobacco and it's one quick way to get mouth cancer, but if it's legal and directly affects nobody else, banning it is a little... extreme. And if the reason for the ban is to "protect the children from bad influences," I hate to break it to them, but little kids don't chew tobacco because Madison Bumgarner does. Young ballplayers do it because older ballplayers in the minors do it. If they were gonna ban it, they should have started with the low minors. (New York Times)
