The Cheater?

Did Kenny Rogers cheat? That is the question, after he was caught with some foreign substance on his hand. Seems like it was pine tar but Rogers says it was dirt. The umpire claimed to have "observed" it to be dirt, but never inspected it. Rogers washed it off after the first inning and threw 7 more shutout innings. Study of the tape showed Rogers had a similar spot on his hand for his other two playoff starts. Not coincidentally Rogers has not allowed a run in 23 postseason innings.

    He washed it off and pretty much pitched even better. So, no cheating. Just Fox out to get him.

    No question he cheated. The fact that he pitched well after he washed it off is not conclusive. Maybe the Cards were fazed by his "brilliance" and psyched themselves out. Maybe he put some other shit on the ball like the old pitcher in Major League whose name I can't believe is escaping me right now.
