Pine tar is a sticky substance. Pro baseball players frequently apply pine tar to the handle of their bats because the bats are made entirely of wood, which is very slippery. Pine tar makes it possible to get a better grip on the bat. Whether applying pine tar to the barrel of a bat gives the hitter an advantage is debatable. However, some people think that applying pine tar to the barrel of a bat changes its interaction with the ball in flight. A stickier bat is more likely to make solid contact, and thus result in more hits.
Why do baseball players put pine tar on their helmets?
Its not that they put pine tar on their helmets on purpose. Its from handling the bat with their gloves, then both adjusting/taking off their helmet. So it just transfers from bat to helmet via the glove. Sure they could clean their helmets after a game, but I'm sure its a superstitious thing with many baseball players to not clean the helmet. I'm sure you've seen tons of ball players with extremely dirty helmets... Also... ball players ''adjust'' the amount of pine tar on their gloves for preference by touching their helmet to take some of it off.

You would be better off to spray a small amount on your batting gloves. Try to keep it off your skin because it can be very difficult to remove. Maybe you could get a rosin bag or something like that to use in place of the pine tar.

But, whatever works best for you is what you should use.According to the website http://www.tipking.co.uk/tip/4491.html, rubbing bacon grease, mayonnaise, lard, or witch hazel on the pine tar will help to take it off.Also, check out the answer to this question on WikiAnswers:How_do_you_get_pine_sap_off_your_hands~Additional: According to the Rawlings bat care guide, isopropyl alcohol is the most effective for removing pine tar from bats (and best for the bat too).
