Yankees' dugout plays weird game by throwing gum on field vs. A's

In less than an inning, the New York Yankees appeared to be bored. 

Hosting the Athletics for a three-game set at Yankee Stadium, New York's dugout was seen playing what appeared to be a game with ... chewed-up gum. 

Take a look for yourself ...

Yankees players appeared as if they were tossing their used gum at a sprinkler head in the grass. Why? That's a fantastic question. 

It's hard not to feel bad for the poor grounds crew worker who will have to pick all that up at some point. Or even a player who tracks a fly ball into foul territory.

While the Yankees are focused on who amongst them is the best thrower of gum, the A's are focused on winning a game against the best team in baseball. Or maybe this is why the Yankees are the best team in baseball? I don't know anymore.
