Baseball players and coaches often chew gum, sunflower seeds, or chewing tobacco as they play baseball. Chewing tobacco is also known as “dip,” “chew,” “chaw,” and “baccer.” It is consumed by stuffing chunks of tobacco into the cheeks or lips. However, in 2016, Major League Baseball (MLB) created a rule that prohibited the use of smokeless tobacco products, including chewing tobacco, by all players and other on-field personnel during games and during interviews. Therefore, it is not allowed for players to chew tobacco during games. Besides gum and tobacco, players also chew sunflower seeds, which help them clean out dirt from their mouths and keep them hydrated. Some players also chew bubble gum, and for some, they take their chewing to another level, hamming an absurd amount into their mouth and making them look ridiculous.
