MLB Baseball

American League baseball used at Yankee Stadium circa 1974. The stamps are for Lee MacPhail, American League president 1974 through 1983, and Spalding, the manufacturer. There are 108 double-stitches on a baseball.

 

MLB baseballs have been rubbed with Lena Blackburne Baseball Rubbing Mud since 1938. About one thousand pounds of mud are harvested from the New Jersey side of the Delaware River at the start of each baseball season.
