Victory: New Baseball Contract Limits Smokeless Tobacco
Thanks to the work of thousands of advocates like you, Major League Baseball and the players' union have taken an historic first step toward getting tobacco out of the ballgame by placing significant limits on smokeless tobacco at the ballpark and whenever players are around fans.
Please help us celebrate by thanking Commissioner Bud Selig and MLBPA Executive Director Michael Weiner. It took courage for Commissioner Selig to stand up for tobacco-free baseball on opening day this year and it took true leadership by Mr. Weiner to bring these new restrictions across home plate.
Thank You!
