And I'm not even talking about moving up, I'm talking about respecting the level of play you're working now."
Seeds being poured in the mouth on a field is unprofessional.

Wow, talk about kicking it "Old School".
I chew bubble gum (Dubble Bubble, not Super Bubble) and keep a couple of extra pieces in my pocket. Sometimes I blow a bubble. Is that acceptable?
