Why do baseball players chew so much gum?
It turns out they practically invented it! In the 1880s, baseball players were constantly looking for ways to keep their mouths moist during long games. Tobacco was the go-to solution, but some players wanted a healthier alternative. Enter chewing gum! Manufacturers took notice and began marketing gum directly to players and fans. Soon, chewing gum became a dugout staple, even used by pitchers to improve grip on their hands!
