Said Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., quoted in "[Yankees manager Aaron] Boone's message to Jazz about lollipops: 'Keep having fun, but be safe" (MLB.com).

AND: I think Chisholm's wordy explanation is quite funny and I'm trying to imagine him going on about running with scissors....

Better than a wad of tabacky... but not much.
Sidewalk pop is a great photo.
He was just playing the Tigers. He could have been there in a folding chair with a bucket of popcorn and no one would have hit a ball out there.
He’s fun to watch because he obviously enjoys the game, he has a slight build for a major league player, but he has such bat speed he can hit for power anyway. He’s also a pretty good fielder. At the end of last night’s game, Boone, the Yankees manager gave him a big smile as he returned to the dugout at the end of the game, so even though he said he was mad about the lollipop the day before, I am not buying it.
Earlier in the game, he dug up a buried camera by second base, all in all it was a weird game. I personally hate the Yankees, but you can’t help but like that guy.
Dirt cam delay

It’s nice to have a trademark. I never noticed this guy before and now I’m completely interested in him. I remember when Kojak was popular and seemed to be all about having a lollipop. It just takes a little detail to give personality to a guy.
Another funny thing was in the Mets at the Phillies game earlier in the week. A Met hit a home run and a Phillies fan threw it back, but he was caught on camera switching the ball before he did it, big as life, his smiling face broadcast to the world.

Yeah, I have been watching a lot of baseball.
He is also wearing another players pants lately , an injured guy, I think, he wears them for luck; they are huge on him
What is it with baseball and an unconquerable urge to chew? Is there something quintessentially rodential about the game that I've missed? For decade upon decade, attending a big league game meant watching nine men standing in a field of grass, chewing, spitting, and occasionally doing something purposeful with a ball, but mostly chewing. The spitting has reduced considerably, but the chewing has only increased. I couldn't find it on YouTube, but there was a classic SNL sketch featuring John Belushi dressed as a Yankees first base coach, just standing with arms folded, masticating vigorously, occasionally nodding, but mostly chewing like a frenetic bovine. Belushi said not a word, but there was a voiceover delivered in the vapid style of a network color commentator, but the joke was the chewing.

He's wearing Giancarlo Stanton's pants. And yes, the dirt cam discovery and Jazz's reactions were delightful. Jazz is a fun-loving free spirit who also occasionally loses focus on the field.
“Gimme that pop, Tootsie!”
I have somethig in my mouth most of the time. I smoked cigarettes for a long time. I used nicotine gum to quit smoking, and chewed that for about eight years. Used regular gum to kick the Nicorette, then when my TM joint started to click switched to sugar-free eucalyptus cough drops. I have one in even when doing Taekwon-do and when I sleep. People think I'm crazy, that I'll choke to death some day, but I've been fine for decades and decades. Just keep it under your tongue and no problem. Now I just have to figure out what to do about the heroin.
…a one. a two hoo hoo. a three…
"The reason why it took so long was because I was trying to bite through it. My teeth were not letting me get through it. It was like a brand new lollipop."
"So, I was trying to bite, bite, bite.“
Dentists are loving this.
I imagine this really would be a safety issue. Having a spherical lollipop (without the stick) in your mouth while playing sports would be a serious choking hazard.
“I have somethig in my mouth most of the time.”
We’re left to trust your judgment, magilla…
Jazz is highly entertaining. I say this as a Red Sox fan* who despises the Yankees.
*I am actually on sabbatical as a Red Sox fan. They are awful and boring at the same time.

What is it with baseball players and their oral fixations? When I was kid in 1965, I got to go into the player tunnel part of Shes Stadium and watch the game from the Mets bullpen. I was astounded by the boredom displayed by the relief pitchers , by their youth (they looked like teenagers), and by the ridiculous amounts of saliva that they cheerily sprayed hither and thither. Since then, my television experience of baseball has been unable to detach from the spitting, the spitting, and the spitting.
Everything Jaq says, only I may hate the Yankees even more than he does. Jazz is fun without being weird. The appeal of baseball may lie in the fact that you can see their faces, athleticism, and their quirks.
Boatbuilder, you think you're having a bad year? I'm a Mets fan. It's been 40 years: maybe we could schedule a replay of the '86 World Series, just to see who comes in last of all lasts. Bring back some of the old guys.
I can't get that recent Joe Rogan podcast with the world title arm wrestler out of my head. That is one damn weird sport. The videos are bizarre.
