Who knows why they didn’t? Maybe the league is trying to distance itself from the belief that chewing tobacco, a hot button topic in MLB, played a role in Gwynn’s death? Maybe they thought enough time had passed? Maybe they have something else in the works?
Whatever the case, the league and network should explain their oversight. Until then, we’ll just have to enjoy and respect the simple tribute that Adam Jones of the Baltimore Orioles offered to Gwynn at Target Field.
Kind of a shame you’re learning about it here, isn’t it?
