All of the network games are blacked out but I think you can still stream the MLB Network games on a mobile device. At least I could last year. I just had to AirPlay it from my phone to TV and couldn’t use my phone during the game.

I think how I’ve done this in years past is with an MLB.TV subscription you get access to MLB.Postseason. I can’t stream it from the MLB.tv app on my Apple TV but I can stream it on my phone and AirPlay it to my TV. I assume that this option will be available again and works with other devices (Fire, Chromecast, Roku, etc.).

I was exposed to chew in high school/legion but nobody ever made a big deal out of it. There was usually a guy or two that would throw on in after the game but it was usually some farm kid who just got done wrestling a bull or something. If it wasn't glaringly obvious to the coaches/umpires nobody cared. I went to a JUCO my first year and that is where I first experienced the "ball players do it" mentality. Our coach there was pretty tight about not wanting to see it in the dugout or on the field, but I would say half of the team chewed there, mostly because we were 18-19 year olds away from home and we didn't have to answer to anyone. I transferred after my first year to a 4 year to a team that was significantly loaded with upperclassmen who were 23-24 and I would say 80-90% of the team (including both coaches) chewed either Red Man and gum or straight tobacco. By the time I graduated, that number probably cut in half. I'm playing on an amateur team now with a majority of younger guys 3-4 years younger than me and maybe 1 or 2 guys chew. Maybe in the 5-8 year difference in age some of that has faded away as we see more and more of Tony Gwynn's of the world create negative attention to it. I guess I'm not going to be rushing out to by a bunch of stock in Phillip Morris anytime soon.
