Where do they learn this?

[Bad Zebra]

Maybe she heard the urban myth about the little leaguer that was chewing gum and got hit by a pitch while chewing gum...he was so excited that he sucked in, got the gum lodged in his throat and choked to death. That was presented to us by the Local League president at the umpires meeting...so that year, we went on an anti-gum crusade. He read it on the internet, so it had to be based on fact.
