My question is this: Unless Rogers was trying to cheat (oh, my stars!), why would he have any pine tar residue on his pitching hand? It's not like they were playing in St. Louis, and he had to bat, or even handle a bat at all. He should have been nowhere near the pine tar rag.
I think the pine tar was there for a reason, not by accident. And I'm for the Tigers. Then again, maybe I'm still not over Rogers shoving that cameraman.
