My recent View from
the Observation Deck blog posting (June 2012) spoke about baseball
players and their constant spitting. It caused a bit of a stir. Some business
readers defend the habit as "part of the game" where adrenalin flow
plus physical effort demand immediate outlet. Many readers decried the spitting
as a disgusting unsanitary habit insulting to everyone. Television viewers are
victimized especially since camera close-ups accentuate every incident. The
jury is still out on this one.
