Anyone watch the All-Star game tonight? I tend to watch sports in spurts. Watch an inning, then flip to something else on a commercial.
Nevertheless, two comments. What was with the display of man love for Steinbrenner during the pre-game? I think I saw Yogi slip the boss some tongue. Secondly, are ball players genetically disposed to chronic spitting? What the hell are they eating? I haven't seen as many spitters since the women walking the streets of Philly.
Comments? To those in New York, what was it like? Atmosphere? Noise factor? Affect on transit?

Please tell me you're kidding about the spitting. This is a bit more nurture than nature. Haven't you ever heard about the tradition of baseball players chewing tobacco? As for the traffic, I suppose it would have thwarted my commuting efforts if I drove. But I don't, so it didn't.
I was serious about the (native) women of Philly. I have never seen women spit as much.
And yes I have heard of that tradition. It's why I started chewing Big League gum, to be like the pros. Ballers eat a lot of sunflower seeds, too, which I have found to be too much work.
Sunflower seeds are totally worth the work though when they're Ranch flavored.
