Answer 1

Looked like pine tar to me. Another thing that I thought of was that it was iodine solution - that yellow stuff that you put on a cut to avoid infection (but you don't get good movement on your pitches with iodine)

Answer 2

Pine Tar.....Pine tar is produced by a process called destructive distillation of the wood from a pine tree. The wood is rapidly decomposed by applying heat and pressure in a closed container; the primary resulting products are charcoal and pine tar.

Pine tar is a complex combination distillate containing thousands of substances, produced by the high temperature carbonization of pine wood in anoxic conditions (dry distillation). It consists primarily of aromatic hydrocarbons, tar acids and tar bases. Components of tar vary according to the pyrolytic process (e.g. method, duration, temperature) and origin of the wood (e.g. age of pine trees, type of soil and moisture conditions during tree growth). The choice of wood, design of kiln, burning and collection of the tar can vary from burning to burning. Only stumps and roots of pine are used in the traditional production of pine tar.

Pine tar has a long history of use as a wood preservative, as a wood sealant for maritime use, in soaps, in roofing construction and maintenance, and in the treatment of skin diseases.

An additional, minor use of pine tar is as the sticky substance baseball players use on their bats to improve grip. Pine tar is applied liberally to Major League Baseball bats every season in the United States of America. Because of its sticky texture, pine tar is used by batters to improve grip on the bat and prevent the bat from slipping out of their hands during hard swings.

Rule 1.10(c) of the 2002 Official Rules of Major League Baseball states that batters may apply pine tar only from the handle of the bat extending up for 18 inches. On July 24, 1983, one manager's knowledge of this rule, and a keen eye, led to the infamous Pine Tar Incident.
