Back in my first year in the minor leagues, 2014, it was $1,000 for the player and $1,000 for the manager. Pretty heavy fine, but from what I understand the "dip police" couldn't just show up unannounced, we had to be informed they were coming in. Thanks for the video!

[@benstephenson8993]

I was a staff member in the minors for 6 years. Players, trainers, and coaching staffs all rampantly use it in the minors and big leagues today. Even with the new rules and restrictions put in place, it’s not slowing down dipping at all. The paranoia of the MLB-sanctioned ‘Dip Police’ (as we called them) supposedly monitoring us at the games wouldn’t stop anyone from doing it. Players even dip on the field and in the dugouts during the game in the minors. The umps know it, and even they don’t enforce it. The 1st and 3rd base coaches do it. Scouts do it in the stands. It’s everywhere. In all 6 years, I only knew of one player that ever got fined for it by MLB. I did it all through college and in my 6 years working in the minors. After I recently left the game, I have quit. It’s easier to quit since I’m no longer in a clubhouse and dugout all day surrounded by an entire culture that still encourages it. I hope to see it end all together. But ultimately unless baseball keeps a dip police officer in the clubhouse and dugout every day all day, it is ultimately going to be up to the men who make up the ball club to phase it out completely. In my personal opinion, a grown man should have the freedom to make his own decision on the issue, especially when it’s your profession. However I do not encourage it.

[@katiearthofer9544]

Ben Stephenson I think the argument is more about, it's better if its not readily visible, at least on camera, so the young people watching don't associate their idols with tobacco.

[@ByakuyaReborn]

Chandler Russell people like the effects of tobacco. They know the risks already.

[@dannycrosswell5190]

Enisei that’s a fact it is no ones fault but my own for starting this habit

[@suburbanhobbyist2752]

@Chandler Russell There is literally no risk of cancer from chewing tobacco. Smoking there definitely is, but chewing is as safe as sucking on a lollipop or something. Dip got caught up in the whole war on smoking. You can look it up yourself. Even the couple of players with high profile cases of cancer (Gwynn) turned out to NOT be related to dip even though they thought it was.

[@FrannyD401]

Thanks for your stories, Matt. It gives us civilians a nice behind the curtain look at pro baseball.

[@derekrwatson346]

That was always how you could tell Verlander was done for the game. He would be in the dugout with a huge dip going.

Here's an old one... Yanks used to have a reserve outfielder, who's responsibilities included lighting a cigarette as Joe DiMaggio came in from CF. DiMag could then maximize the drags he took until his time At Bat or three outs were recorded. DiMag DID die of cancer, but he also lasted into his mid 80s.

[@bucksdiaryfan]

I'm much older than you. My buddy's dad invented batting gloves (Saranac) so we got to go down to the Brewers clubhouse, and there was a wall of chewing tobacco, and the Brewers guy told us to take some -- we were like 13 years old

Back in the 70s and 80s I can remember seeing managers, like Jim Leyland and Billy Martin, and players, like Keith Hernandez, smoking in the dugout during televised games.

[@EthanC_09]

A couple of my buddies on my old AAU team would dip all the time. In one tournament we were playing in Delaware, our coach got in trouble for it, but the players didn’t, even though they were doing it in the dugout. It was weird because he wasn’t actually doing it during the game. He just had a tin in his back pocket. Our 2B was one of the guys doing it, and I remember him spitting out brown right in front of the field umpire. He didn’t do anything about it. The parents on our team noticed though and he was kicked off the team after the tournament. I think that as long as you’re 18, it should be okay because it’s not only a part of the game, it’s a part of some people’s lives, as nasty as I think it is.

[@SurfCityVideo]

Had several friends that played for Steve Yeager in the minors. They referred to the place in the dugout where he stood and smoked as the chimney. He even smoked while he was throwing BP.

[@Ireland831]

I chewed for a loong time playing baseball. I finally quit when I was around 25. Then I started playing men's softball and my buddy got me going again. When I turned 28 or 29 I played in a 30+ baseball team and my catcher was in the Navy. He could get me a roll of Copenhagen, (6 or 8 cans - I forget now) for like $10. Every Sunday he had a new roll for me. Finally quit in my mid 40's. Starting up in a wood bat league, I hope to stay away from it. This was one tough monkey to get off my back.....kids...don't start.

[@TendedTadpole2]

Were the players who smoked actually good? I always assumed that the guys who did a bunch of stuff like that wouldn't be as good, especially with smoking and how that effects their lungs

[@Yousmellikemahn]

You'd be surprised how many elite athletes smoke.

[@MrYoshiEggs]

Ron Washington, Scott Olsen, Jae Hoon Ha to name a few that smoked. Dippers are a lot more common though. But if you think cigarettes hinder athletes' performance, I'll just say if they're good - tobacco ain't gonna stop em. Tons of football (soccer) players smoke including some of the world's best like Wayne Rooney, Ashley Cole, Berbatov, etc

[@TendedTadpole2]

[@bobo12dance]

[@3daypriest]

moncorp1 Inc ... The drug war has done nothing at all to reduce drug use. What it has done is to militarize the police and to turn us into a police state. Most drugs are inconsequentially cheap to make. So why all the money? Black market. The govt controls alcohol and makes the money. And you can brew your own beer and wine...in limited quantities. But growing your own weed would basically be getting the seeds. Make it all legal and dirt cheap. People that are going to destroy their lives with the drugs are going to do it with alcohol if other drugs weren’t available. Yeah, down with the nanny state. And Trump.

[@brianswiers]

I was a clubbie for a team in Short Season A back in the 90s. Tobacco was banned in the minors back in 92 or 93. The umpires had the authority to eject anyone they saw doing it, and the manager. Fines varied by by level. $300 AAA, $200 AA, $100 A, $50 A- & Rookie. The managers also said anyone ejected for tobacco would pay his fine. I never saw or heard of anyone ejected for tobacco violations. Some guys, especially relief pitchers would bring tins and pouches out to the field.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks for sharing!!!

[@spg1026]

Jim Leyland when he managed with the Detroit Tigers a few years ago could be seen smoking in the dugout every once in a while.

[@lylelott4637]

I watched Bobby Cox light up during a game and 20 minutes later put in a dip of chew.

I believe the MLB anti-smoking rule was created when former manager Jim Leyland was seen many times smoking on the bench during games. He complained at first, but eventually endorsed the rule.

[@BronxBomber-mf9hl]

The reason dipping and chew is so prevalent in baseball goes back to the days of old when the playing fields especially the infield were alot more dusty and whatnot, and dipping/chew was a way to keep their mouths moist for the duration of the game. It just kind of stuck throughout the generations.

In Massachusetts you can’t smoke or use tobacco ANYWHERE, except private property. Not on Boston sidewalks or public property; not in parks, and you get fined if you get caught.
