The seeds thing is absolutely dumbfounding.
A partner to me last Sunday after putting a seed bag to his mouth in B or C position at least a dozen times: "What do you have for me?" Me: "Ballplayers started out as boorish, undisciplined slobs. Umpires started out dressed in top hats and coats and ties. We haven't evolved far enough to allow for eating from a bag and spitting out the remains, while we're supposed to be working. 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. |

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?

And to return to the video, he's got seeds sticking out of his pocket? Seeing that garbage, I thought what the heck is that?? It was a bag of seeds? And he continued spitting husks out while Gardenhire was arguing the call?? That is simply execrable. Look, I'm new; I don't presume to pass judgement, but I don't even chew gum out there! He resembles some of the career burn-outs I've seen in my real workplace, sad to say. Bob James
