Gum chewer....or not?

[Back In The Saddle]

If your assigner has no feeling one way or the other about chewing gum, then I guess you need to weigh the cost and benefit. The cost is the perception. If you can do it without looking like a gum chewing moron (I don't seem to be able to), then the cost is probably pretty low. What is the benefit? Some guys do it to keep their mouth from getting dry. I never noticed that it helped that much for me. I did it mostly as a way to feel more relaxed during my first season. It did work for that. So much so, in fact, that I pretty much looked like a gum chewing moron.

Well, that's what you get for blowing bubbles during timeouts.
