When I was 9 years old my first baseball coach said, when we got a break to go to the water fountain: “Men, slosh some water around real good and spit it out before you drink any.”
It wasn’t until about 50 years later that it dawned upon me this was a precaution against swallowing chewing tobacco.
I heard the same thing too! Preparing you for Adulthood!
I was also told not to drink cold water after exercise, the cold water would cause your stomach to rupture. (I have yet to ask the internet about this... Anyone know if its true?)
isn’t 9 is kinda young to be chewing tobacco ?
