How Much Is Too Much

[Steve M]

Elaine,
I dunno 'bout other areas, but here, most of the games I see have 2 new balls to start with - 1 for each starting pitcher. The pitchers warm up with these new balls, so they really don't look all that new come game time. That's why we don't use the mud to rub up balls. Should there be a game when I do get another new ball, I rub it up with some infield dirt.
