Fun Fact: In 1921, MLB umpires began the practice of rubbing mub on the baseballs to remove their sheen. Today, the mud used comes from a company that was founded by former Philadelphia Athletics third-base coach Lena Blackburne. The special mud, which takes off the sheen without marring the leather, is harvested from the New Jersey side of the Delaware River.
