Good call by what I believe is Marty Foster ....

Sveum obviously said the magic word/s .....

Thoughts on Foster w/ tobacco working the plate?

He's not the only one who does it.

Eh, it's the bigs so just comes with the territory. I don't particularly care for the look but whatever.

[Umpire in Chief]

From what I understand MiLB has a no tobacco policy, but I don't believe MLB does for umpires (I'm pretty certain they do for players/managers). If they indeed don't I'll bet we'll see one soon.

MiLB is no tobacco period, for umpires or players. They can't even have it in the locker room. MLB is open for any. The MLB players can even have tobacco when they're down in the minors.
