Most people i know say that Baseball players chew tobacco or something like that, but as a baseball player myself i think its not true because if they do they would come out positive in the drug tests. When i play i ither chew gum or eat flower seeds, but i keep away from tobacco.
The MLB does not test for tobacco....it's legal and non-performance enhancing.

they actually used to chew tobacco but now rely on gum instead in order to keep their mouths from going dry.
In the old days, baseball players primarily chewed tobacco and it became a bit of a tradition to chew and spit on field. Chewing tobacco has gone out of style, however many ball players chew gum and spitting is still an acceptable tradition.

Go to the supermarket and look at a bag of sunflower seeds. They're about half an inch long, black and white, and very tasty. The baseball players chew on them and spit out the seed coverings on television, which is better than when they used to chew tobacco and spit out the juice.
Yes, tobacco companies add sugar to the tobacco to make the chew more sweet
