No. Pine-tar is a grip. Glue will stick. Unless you wanted your hand to not come off the bat...
Pine tar is very sticky and allows the batter to get a better grip of the bat when they use it on their batting gloves.
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.
Pine tar is applied to the bat for a better grip, not the helmet. The reason why you see pine tar on some player's helmets is because it is transfered from the bat onto the players hands and then the helmet when they take off or adjust the helmet.

The best way is to spray it on with a spray jar. Put the pine star substance in a spraying container and spray it on, the more you spray, the thicker it will be. You can also get a, what people like to call, a Pine Rag, which is a rag that is covered in pine tar, then wiped on the bat. Remember! The more pine tar you add, the thicker it will be!
The dark color on Lance Berkman's or any other players helmet is pine tar. When a player uses a rag to put pine tar on his bat it gets on his batting gloves. When he adjusts his helmet during an at-bat the tar will be left on his helmet.
The tar is pine tar, which the players touch before batting so as to get a better (stickier) grip on the bat
pine tar come from a pine tree

Well first of all to do it correctly and the least messy way to do it is to apply it with a pine tar rag or just a rag. Apply the pine tar on the rag ( you might want to put some athletic tape on the other side of the rag if your using an ordinary one so it doesnt soak through). Apply until the rag is sticky dont hesistate to put a lot becouase you can reuse it later. Now rap the rag around the bat handle and keep doing so until you can see the bat handle is covered and has just enough to where it is sticky, you dont need to much but enough to last you a game or so. I recommend wearing batting gloves and when your gloves get slick any between pitches grab the handle of the bat and to enhance your grip. You can also apply to your helmet. Pine tar is also proven to give you faster bat speed because you dont have to grip the bat as tight. Hope this helps
