THIS is pine tar"
And, yes, it is signed by the man himself.
The substance was on his pitching hand, not his catching hand.
So why does it matter if he wore his glove?

rofl, because he could have moved the tar to his glove. Take a look back to the 88 world series. Pitcher was removed and suspended for tar in his GLOVE.
Ok, just to summarize.
He has dirt on his hand. The umpires see the dirt, both managers know about the dirt. The dirt looks like dirt, it isn't blobby or otherwise looking like it could come off on the ball or his fingers.
Further,there's no sign of the dirt ON the ball, or the fingers.
Then he cleans off the dirt after the 1st inning.
And this is proof that he was cheating, because after the 1st inning he could have hid this dirty substance somewhere that NOBODY would see it. After putting it right out for the world to see in the 1st inning.
And after the game, he draws attention to his glove by wearing it into the clubhouse (as if taking it off would have someone allowed someone to learn that there was a substance in it).
But this can't possibly be a pitcher trying to psych out his opponents -- it's PROOF of cheating, first because we could SEE the dirt, and then even more convincing that the dirt dissappeared and it MUST HAVE BEEN hidden somewhere that nobody could see, and used in a way that kept the umpires from finding any evidence.
Which proves he was cheating, because he hid it so well.
And the opposing manager is just too nice to mention it or complain or to have taken any measures to stop it.
