I don't think pointing fingers, chasing coaches, or dipping is something any of us should emulate.

FYI, to get all smokeless tobacco banned in MLB, it must be met by the approval of the player's union.
OTOH, the city of Detroit has passed some law about smoking (I don't remember what). So, Jim Leyland can't smoke in the dugout anymore.
Earl Weaver used to call Don Stanhouse, "Two PacK". The reason. Earl claimed he would go through two packs of cigarettes when Stanhouse would come in and pitch in relief.
