Re: All-Pine Tar team

For OF -- Luis Gonzalez is always heavy on tar. His bats typically show tremendous tar & use.

It's funny, but I've got some of Luis' gamers that I know he really liked, from the markings he puts on them, but that have almost no pine tar on them at all. I've also got a post-seaon bat from '01 that has an incredible amount of pine tar on it, so with Gonzo, maybe it's situational. He does signings here in Phoenix every year or two; if I remember to ask him about the pine tar next time, I will.

Re: All-Pine Tar team

When I first saw this thread I knew we had a NL fan posting as to the lack of DH. I would also go with Edgar Martinez as he actually has a more tarred bat then Jay who always had the stuff all over his pants….

Re: All-Pine Tar team

Love this thread -- the best bats show the most use in my mind!

Anyhow, it is interesting to me that catchers often have the filthiest bats. While I agree with Posada's bats as being very pine tar heavy, I could argue Jason Larue to be heavier on the tar. I have four of his -- each is ridiculously heavy on tar and one has grass still stuck to it.

For OF -- Luis Gonzalez is always heavy on tar. His bats typically show tremendous tar & use.

Re: All-Pine Tar team

Great idea. Ive got a bat from Orlando Cabrera and it is caked with pine tar. I dont know if you've ever done this but I have a UV flashlight and when the light shines on the pine tar on the bat it turns green. Kind of cool to see.

Who else cakes on the pine tar besides who you have listed?

Have you seen Orlando Cabrera's batting helmet on eBay....

Re: All-Pine Tar team

I don't know how Posada could possibly use more pine tar than Johnny Estrada. I bought a couple of his gamers in '06 that were just filthy, and they haven't dried a bit to this day.

Re: All-Pine Tar team

When I saw the thread title, my first thought was Grace.

How about Edgar Martinez at DH?
