Clay
Dirt
One opinion in regards to the reasons behind Major League Baseball Umpires usually throwing baseballs out of play once it has touched the dirt on the ground is because they do not want any marks on the baseball that could cause the baseball to create extra movement which dirt on a baseball could potentially do.
Foul balls, pitchers throw the ball into the dirt and the ball gets scuffed, home runs
To get baseballs ready for a major league game, they are rubbed with special dirt. This dirt allows the ball to be gripped better.

The "dirt" we see isn't really what I would call dirt. A baseball infield is made up of a special mixture of sand, silt, and clay. (Silt is a natural material halfway between sand and clay as far as particle size is concerned.) There doesn't seem to be any one central source and depends more of the likings of the local groundskeepers. At Fenway Park, they mix in some ground up kitty-litter type stuff to give the infield "dirt" a redder color. Our local AA minor league park has artificial "dirt" made up of ground up automobile tires. Low maintenance and good drainage were what they were looking for around here!
A dirt dog is a nickname for a scrappy or blue-collar baseball player.
