Anything? Sweat? Spit? Left over rosin form when he picked up the bag? There's a reason why baseball labels substances as legal and illegal. Some can affect the game. Some can't. Baseball has determined rosin doesn't affect the game, at least not to the degree it needs to be banned. It is in fact recognized as a legal tool for pitchers and placed right out there behind the mound.
You're saying it's cheating for a player to use a substance placed out there for his use by baseball? You're right. Makes sense to me, too.
