What was on Kenny Rogers' hand in game two of the World Series?

Answer 1

DIRT.

Answer 2

This guy is a cheatin dog with a sub-par repertoire and needing every advantage he could get his hands on, or get on his hands. Looked to me like Vaseline that had been smudged (inadvertantly) with dirt. Would love to see video of when his hand touched the ground, contaminating his effort. It's a real shame they didn't come down hard on this guy, but in the World Series nobody wants to do anything to affect the outcome of the game. Like ejecting the starting pitcher(Anybody remember Clemens throwing Piazza's bat at him?) Let's see how Rogers gets rocked in his next outing. No i'm not a Yankee or Cardinal fan, either. Cards took out my Mets but I got to stand up for them here.

Answer 3

yeah, it was pine tar, pitchers use it to get more movement on the ball, eckstein, spezio, and pujols all had puzzled looks on their faces when they saw rogers off speed stuff, they said the ball was moving very strangely, if you look at his hat and his glove later in the game you can see the pine tar still there and he rubbed his fingers on them before every curveball, also you can see the pine tar on his hands against the A's and yankees, he has been caught in past years but since the mlb never punishes him he keeps on doing it, fu kenny rogers but go tigers

Answer 4

in accordance to former significant leaguer Brian McCrae who replaced into interviewed on the radio as we talk, it replaced into pine tar and notwithstanding unlawful he suggested "each and all and sundry does it." He speculated that a particular television announcer who used to play for the Cardinals delivered it up on digicam so as that the human beings in the Cardinals clubhouse might want to tip LaRussa off.

Answer 5

to me it looked like pine tar..and from a professional:

A major league bullpen coach told SI.com's Jon Heyman on Monday that the substance Kenny Rogers had on his hand last night was pine tar and that he likely was using it to doctor balls.
"It was pine tar," the coach said. "It couldn't be anything else. Pitchers use pine tar, shaving cream and suntan lotion. Pitchers use them to help them grip the ball and make the ball move more." David Wells was accused by a former Yankee teammate a year ago of using shaving cream, and like suntan lotion, it's difficult to detect. "I don't know Kenny Rogers, but I'm guessing he had to use pine tar because it was so cold," the coach added. "He probably usually uses shaving cream or suntan lotion because they blend in."

Answer 6

All the Tiger pitchers were told to put pinetar on their hands so they wouldn't throw the ball away when fielding it.

He was the only one who listened.

Answer 7

I think it looked like Pine Tar and I'm not just repeating what I've heard, but thats what pine tar looks like! Honestly, I could care less that he had it on his hand, but I can't stand that he liad about it. He could have made up a better excuse. Something like, "I was playing with a bat in the locker room and it must have gotten on my hand." But don't lie when everybody knows the truth.

Answer 8

They claim it was dirt and told him to wash his hands, but the
Cardinal pitcher did not have to wash his hands. Did about the same for baseball as the strike did in the nineties
