> They're a time-killer, the sunflower seeds in the shell. If you play baseball and you don't chew tobacco, sunflower seeds are just more interesting to eat than gum is to chew. Just stick a big wad in your mouth, and while you're waiting to shag a fly ball or knock a homer, your mouth can be going to town on the seeds.

Tell me, Mike, do baseball players still chew tobacco? I gave up watching baseball many moons ago because the constant spitting made me gag. Who wants to watch a bunch of guys spit? Somehow, spitting the hulls of sunflower seeds doesn't seem so nasty.
