Cheat Ball Physics Slate breaks down what the use of pine tar, vaseline, suntan oil and other substances enable pitchers to do to a baseball. Pretty interesting stuff, especially the part about pitchers not really considering pine tar much a cheat at all.

Good article; too short, though.

I keep meaning to comment, but I can't think of anything to say. Very interesting.

Eideteker, sorry about that. I've been so focused on cheating and baseball that I just figure everyone is in the same mindset!
