Tony Gwynn's death left a major impression on Chicago White Sox ace Chris Sale.
Gwynn died in 2014 as a result of salivary gland cancer, a diagnosis he argued in part was due to a chewing tobacco habit.
"I chewed tobacco from 2007 until the day [Gwynn] died," Sale said Monday, per ESPN's Jayson Stark. "I quit that day and haven't touched it since. So in a sense I owe him a huge thank you."
