Pine ___ (baseball player's grip enhancer) (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tar

(Other definitions for tar that I've seen before include "Black substance, used on roads" , "Black coat" , "Product of smoking cigarettes" , "Informal name for sailor" , "A sailor; a preservative" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
