Former MLB starter David Cone showed MLB fans the effects of rosin and sweat, which led to Mets starter Max Scherzer getting suspended in his recent start
Former MLB player David Cone reacts after throwing out the ceremonial first pitch prior to game two of the American League Division Series between the Cleveland Guardians and the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on October 14, 2022 in New York, New York.
"We did a little experiment before the game and I had the rosin bag right there. That’s the rock rosin," Cone said."I had not too much sweat to work with, but even with just the rock rosin, it got sticky. Then, I went to the alcohol to show you, ‘OK, let me clean it off.’ I had a little discoloration from the rosin.""The alcohol sort of activates what’s left of the rosin," he said.
Scherzer wasn’t just tossed from the game, but he was suspended 10 games as a result. He decided not to appeal, with his reasoning being that an MLB official would be overseeing the hearing.
