That did happen in the 69 World Series. I think it was Tommy Agee that hit a ball off his foot and the umpires did not call anything. The Mets' Manager came out and showed that the ball had shoe polish on it. The umpires changed their original call.

I would also doubt seriously that shoe polish would be a factor with these multi-color shoes and color you would find any shoe polish on the shoes. The only one that probably shines their shoes at all is the umpires.
