I like MLB and we watch it often. I was told by the high school boys I taught that the reason they spit is that the dust from the field gets in their mouths and they need to get it out. They also chew bubble gum to help them focus and it creates a lot of saliva. They also told me about the testicle tugging but I am too much a lady to address that in public. I was a bit embarrassed when they shared it with me, but I must say it did make sense. I just look away.
