NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — The New York City Council is aiming to do what Major League Baseball has been unable to thus far: ban chewing tobacco from ballparks.
The city hopes to have the ban in place for Opening Day at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field.
Both the Yankees and Mets support the idea.
The New York City Health Department is also backing the legislation.
