Pete Rose
>>The pine tar incident wasn't with Pete Rose but rather it was George Brett against the New York Yankees, where he crushed a home run to right field to take the lead for the Royals. This home run was then overturned when Yankee manager Billy Martin argued that Brett's pine tar was too far up on the barrel, the logic being that the ball would stick to the bat better, staying on the barrel longer and going farther.
Pete Rose is infamous for betting on Baseball while playing and managing and then lying about it for a very long time. This move has gotten him banned for baseball and has kept him out of the hall of fame even though he holds the major league record for hits.

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.
