Pitching With Pine Tar

What's the difference between the rosin bag and pine tar?
Aren't they both used for grip? And what makes pine tar the "illegal" substance?
Gary asks

my response:

Rosin is a drying agent. However, using pine tar with rosin will allow the pitcher to have the ability to put extra spin (bite) on the ball...especially on their breaking pitches.
