Tony Gwynn (Mr. Padre) Passes Away

oh, and milb should outlaw it. and the Twins should tell their minor leaguers it is a banned substance for them.

 

I agree, Mike. It just makes me incredibly sad to think of children (because I still think of 12 yo's as children) being addicted to a substance that is legally sold to adults.

 

I did find it interesting that Byrnes said they had a lot of education in milb about chew but that, at least for him, the education really didn't impact.

 

Perhaps treating it like marijuana etc. (warnings, suspensions, etc.) might have some effect.
