Peanuts, Cracker Jack, And Chaw: This Young Rangers Fan Is A Spitting Image Of Dad [UPDATE]

It's just a few days into the baseball season, but we're already reminded that some of the best action takes place in the stands, not on the field. Here's an example, as a young Rangers supporter takes after his father both in physical resemblance and, it appears, in the use of smokeless tobacco. [FS Southwest, h/t to George D]

Update, April 9: We got an angry email a woman claiming to be the boy's mother. She says it's "obviously not the case" that her husband offered smokeless tobacco to the boy (who is 5 years old). An unapproved commenter below suggests it was some sort of gummy candy.
