The only reason he didnt is because of his friendship with the Detroit manager. They go way back.

because most dont put it on thier hands like that. they hide it on thier glove or under the brim of the hat. then wipe a little on the thumb with a tip of the hat.
they were talking with some of the st louis announcers and they even said they know some of the STL pitchers have and do use it. its widely known that a LOT of pitchers do. its not the little they put on thier hands for extra grip they're concerned about, its when they put a glob on the ball to make it do funny things. thats why they didnt kick him outta the game and just had him wash it off instead. because it was very little, a thin patch on his palm.
if he had been using enough to effect the game, he would have been kicked out of the game, and the STL staff woulda made a BIG to do about that. i guarentee you that. friendship or not, it was the world series.
