Did you see the video of the guy that was blowing a bubble as running out a triple this season? I forget who it was, but it was a great shot. That should be on a card somewhere.
Not sure if you were looking specifically for gum chewers, but here's a famous tobacco chewer:
I remember reading one time where Rod said that he chewed when he batted because by stretching his cheek, it allowed his front eye to be more "wide open", thus allowing him to see the ball better. Not sure how true that is, but the man could hit.

I had never heard that--somewhere between optometry and superstition lies the truth . . .
