DELRAN – Jim Bintliff is the owner of Lena Blackburne Baseball Rubbing Mud, a family-owned business that supplies baseball mud, which used to take the shine off of baseballs, to every team in the Major Leagues. While others have tried to replicate the product, South Jersey mud is the only thing that works. The exact location and process for harvesting is a carefully kept secret.
