Let me tell you something. I am an umpire and I am certified by Dizzy Dean and USSSA and i know some of the umpires for TSSAA because i umpire with half of them... and you kno0w what, half of them dip during a game... that is the reason half of them do not enforce it when they see a coach with one in... The dipping during a game thing i can understand. I know you will agree with me on this. If we can't dip on the field than why should players for Major League be able too... don't tell me it is because they are old enough, because i am 18 and I dip and you can't do it on the field or in college... I don't think it is right for them to be able to dip if we can't. and from the sounds of it I am guessing you don't because you were telling us about the aftermath of dipping... Let me tell you, all those pics you see in health class or whatever in school of people that have dipped, they have dipped for about 30 or 35 years and did about a can or a can and 1/2 a day. They are missing a jaw basically because they eat, sleep, and wake up with a dip in... And how in the heck did we go from talking about jewelry to Tobacco..
