SURPRISE, Ariz. -- At least one Chicago Cubs smokeless tobacco user is finding the bright side in a new ban that would produce fines for players caught using at Wrigley Field or U.S. Cellular Field.
"It's going to be hard because you're an addict, pretty much," catcher Miguel Montero said after being informed of the ban on Wednesday. "It'll be tough to quit cold turkey. Hopefully (this) will help me to quit."
But Montero also joined others, including pitcher John Lackey and manager Joe Maddon, in expressing disappointment that the city of Chicago is telling players what they can or cannot do with a legal substance.
