Do home plate umpires still rub baseballs before games how many and with what?

There was an episode of "Dirty Jobs" on the Discover Chanel about this. It is not the umpire that does it. It is a person that works for the home team of any given game. It is a very particular type of natural mud but i do not remember where it comes from. I have heard they prepare about 60 balls per game.

What are some of baseball's unwritten rules?
Don't crowd the plate. If you do, the pitcher will throw at your head. The strike zone. According to the rules, it extends from the batter's knees to his shoulders. In actual practice, however, umpires consider the waist to be the top of the strike zone. This changed a little bit a few years ago, when the MLB "reminded" the umpires what the "official" strike zone was, but still, very few umpires are going to call a chest-high pitch a strike.
