Rubbing baseballs in the dirt, how many do it?

The high school and youth teams in this area want a shiny new ball to start the game, so I don't rub them down. The adult league wants them rubbed down, so one of the umpires (usually PU) will do it.

Shiny new balls are slippery and dangerous. I'd rub them down anyway.
