LONGPORT, New Jersey --Jim Bintliff is a self-described "mud guy." He harvests and processes the mud that helps pitchers get a grip.
"It's just enough to buff the slippery coating off the ball," he says. "It creates a whole new feel to a baseball." "The American League used it starting in 1938, '39," says Bintliff. "The National League got it in 1950.""The mineral content is the secret; that's the magic," he says. Bintliff is the third generation digging mud in his family after Blackburne passed it to his friend, Bintliff's grandfather.
