Pine Tar Can Cure Cancer!

Yup, you heard it here. After the the last couple days following the Tigers win in game 2 of the 2006 World Series, it has come to my attention that Pine Tar can and does some amazing things.

I will preface this blog by stating that I have no concrete proof that Kenny Rogers did in fact have pine tar on his person Sunday evening in the 1st inning. He claims that is was a mixture of spit, rosin, and dirt he uses. Fine with me since the umpires and the Cardinals did not want to investigate.

So what cool things can pine tar do?

Well obviously it can allow you to hold onto a bat. Baseball players use it for it's sticky like qualities to help them get a good grip on the lumber. Some players even admit to putting in in their gloves to help them catch balls. Pitchers have been coming out of the woodwork saying they use it in cold weather to help them feel the ball and grip it better when pitching.

Other fun stuff you can use pine tar for:

-Hanging up posters of Kid Rock in your room

-Place some on a teachers chair before class and watch the hilarity ensue when he/she tries to get up later in the day

-If you have a nasty cough, pine tar can be used as a expectorant.

-Cut yourself shaving, pine tar can be used as a antiseptic

-Have a show horse? Well, name it Pine Tar.
