Why do baseball players spit so often?

I don't mean "were they never taught manners" or anything like that. I mean what *causes* them to spit so often? Do their mouths produce more saliva than the average person?

Do they not know how to swallow? Is the path from the nose to the mouth unusually short and their mouths keep filling up with mucous? What's the reason?

Chewing tobacco...or sunflower seeds. I think the answer is as simple as that...many players chew tobacco...kind of a baseball tradition. I would say Tobacco is slowly filtering out of the game because of the negative health consequences but is still very prevalent.

If you chew tobacco you must spit the juice. A lot of players also eat sunflower seeds which leads to spitting out the shells. So I do not think it is that they have more saliva than the average person or anything...they just partake in activities that require spitting..

Sunflower Seeds A very large number of baseball players are chewing on sunflower seeds. These are salty and they do not actually eat the shells. If you do not eat the shells you need to spit them out.

The salt will also cause you to salivate more, causing the need to spit. Not to mention, that some of the shells get stuck in odd places.

Chewing tobacco use to be very popular with baseball players. Hence they would spit. Some still use chewing tobacco.
