4. I chanced across a contemporary children's book at my library called....

Miracle Mud: Lena Blackburne and the Secret Mud That Changed Baseball, and it brought back memories of another children's book I read in the fifties about a kid that started a cool little baseball museum and set out to collect anything and everything about baseball. A can (metal paint can) of Lena Blackburne's mud was one of his prized acquisitions. I spent time with the librarian trying to chase down the title of the cool book from my childhood to no avail, but the book did hip me to all the cool aspects of baseball from spikes to baseball bat woods, and even MUD!
