Tobacco in baseball

Texas Rangers' Mike Napoli opens a can of chewing tobacco prior to a baseball game against the Oakland Athletics, Thursday, Sept. 22, 2011, in Oakland, Calif. Baseball commissioner Bud Selig has revolutionized a tradition-bound sport in several ways, most notably with interleague play and the wild card. But convincing baseball players to give up a nearly two-century habit of chewing tobacco on the field or dugout is likely to prove a stickier subject. (AP Photo/Ben Margot)
