MLB Ban on Tins is Pointless


NBC Sports
So wait, players are now completely banned from carrying tins on their person while playing the field or batting.  They can, however, still throw in a fat lip before they get to plate or take the field as long as there is no 'circular tin' impression anywhere on their body.  And now, there's a way crazy people can rat players out online for it?  Carrying a tin and playing baseball is like playing basketball and wearing high tops.  You start out with big league chew, move on to seeds (BBQ was always my personal favorite) and you ultimately throw in your first lip and vomit.  After the first time, it's not that bad, and the buzz is reasonable.  Certainly not a hobby of mine, but a favorite past time of nearly every college and professional baseball player.  I can only imagine a thousand crazed soccer moms out there logging online and calling out sonny boys favorite player for having a fat skoal tin on his butt while batting.  This is just too much.  They going to ban basketball players from stupid tattoos?  Ban hockey players from smashing in each others skulls and knocking out teeth?  The worlds got bigger issues than a 30 year old grown man packing a lip.  This needs to go away.
