i'm not questioning the item. i simply can't figure out why clemens' hat would have pinetar on it or why that's a "clemens trait".
- if clemens were batting, he'd be wearing a batting helmet. pinetar would get on the helmet, not the cap.
- if clemens was pitching with pine tar on his brim (and thus his fingers) then he must've gotten it on the ball. isn't it against the rules to put a foreign substance on a ball (other than the regulation mud)? how's clemens putting pine tar on a ball any different than gaylord perry putting vaseline on it?

a mystery i can't solve. anyone?
rudy.
based on recent pitcher being questioned on pinetar on glove, it's probably a glove to face to hat motion for the catcher. as you get older pitchers use pinetar to grip the baseball better.
its not illegal unless it excessive pinetar.
