'The Gambler' now 'The Cheater?'

In Game 2 of the World Series, the FOX cameras caught a shot of a foreign substance on Kenny Rogers' pitching hand in the first inning. From what I could see, it appeared to be a brownish-orange color on the left side of his palm. It looked like a mixture of dirt and resin, as Rogers claims it was, and I believe him. How else would you explain the next seven innings where he gave up only one hit to the Cardinals after washing off the gunk before the second inning?

In my opinion, it's sad to see such a big deal made out of this, especially when Rogers is having an incredible run in the postseason. After the Game 2 win, he is now 3-0 with 23 consecutive scoreless innings. Every time he goes out on the mound, he's fired up, unleashing primal screams on strikeouts and double plays successfully turned. Should the series reach Game 6 and Rogers pitches another gem, he would be my pick for World Series MVP.
