They realize even baseball players need something to stay awake in the
middle of a baseball game. To have to stand around, waiting for
something, anything, to happen and not have stimulants would be
entirely unreasonable.On the first incident they enter a 10 step program that teaches them
non-drug methods to stay awake during a baseball game. Mostly its
spitting every ten seconds.Baseball players, BTW, that aren't spitting are probably on drugs. Any
closeup camera lets you know they don't have much of a drug problem in
major league baseball.
I can personally vouch for the efficacy of using chewing tobacco to
stay awake. Has nothing to do with the nicotine. It's the resulting
vomititious eruption that occurs if you swallow your own brackish
backwash. Even worse if you swallow someone else's.
If Wrigley can market Big League Chew bubblegum to kids, can C3PO EPO
be far behind? How about Andretti-osterone?
