How many stitches are on a baseball?
or
What do the umpires rub on every baseball before an MLB game?
Answer: (Drag mouse from left arrow to right)
> 1: 108 stiches
2: Mud is an acceptable answer.
More specifically: Umpires rub special mud, called "Lena Blackburn Rubbing Mud" that comes from a secret New Jersey shore of the Delaware River, on every baseball used in a major league game (roughly 60 baseballs). This takes the sheen off of the ball and makes it easier to handle.
