I watch a lot of NBA and NFL Games. I do not watch a lot of MLB Baseball Games. However, this World Series is fun to watch.

I have noticed that Baseball Player Spit throughout the Game. How come I do not see this in NFL and NBA?

Well football players wear helmets. Basketball players have the floor to be concerned about.

Well since nba players can’t really spit on the court, I’ll let you figure that one out.

And nfl players spit all the time, but in the mlb, cameras are focused in on peoples faces more, and they aren’t wearing face masks to cover them.

True, but that mouth guard makes you spit too when you get to take it out.

Try spitting through a facemask and see how that works out for you

Yep.

11 guys vs 9

Helmets vs no helmets

Team action vs pitcher and batter action

There are more opportunities to see mlb players spit so you see it more.

Because 95% of the time baseball players are just standing around, while basketball and football players are constantly on the move.

Wasn’t there a cornerback, Hall maybe? who spit at TO or vice versa? I can’t remember. Maybe another player.

You dip for years...even if you aren't dipping now...

It's a habit.

I'm sure going through the MLB system...they all dipped (well can't now)

But all that baseball, once you dip, you spit a lot just even without dipping. It takes awhile to stop spitting...even if you aren't dipping anymore. Spitting is a habit too. Like fingernail biting.
