Have some great athletes chosen pro baseball over other sports they could have succeeded in mainly because of the spitting during games?

Update:

As most of you sports fans are aware, pro baseball players spit constantly during their ball games. Pretty disgusting if you ask me! How did this come to be? There seems to be way more spitting during baseball games compared to any other major professional sport. I'm guessing it has something to do with body language, and projecting masculinity and toughness. Which is interesting when you consider it's really not a very tough sport physically.

    Dude, did you just call out baseball players? Are you crazy? They could throw a rock the size of a baseball 100 miles per hour and hit you in the bean, or the beans. And, have you not seen the long, thick hardwood sticks they carry around? Once they have you rolling on the ground after pinging your bean(s), they'll stroll over whistling while they whack the rest of your sorry ***. They'll finish by making hamburger with what is left in the dust under their spiked shoes. ...To all you baseball players out there - Harlowe says he's sorry. Please forgive his impertinence. He has poor impulse control when he gets on this site. Well, to be honest, he has poor impulse control when not on this site too.
