The baseballs are rubbed down by the umpires to take the sheen off the ball . Lena Blackbourne's Rubbing Mud has been used since 1938, and is still used today in Major League Baseball. There is even a can of this mud on display at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. The place where the mud is found in New Jersey is still a well kept secret.
