Thursday was opening day for Major League Baseball.
From Yankee Stadium in the Bronx to Dodge Stadium in Los Angeles, there will be a little bit of New Jersey on every baseball.
Mud from the Garden State has been used to rub down every baseball used in the Major Leagues for more than 70 years. Minor leagues as well.
To celebrate opening day, News 12 looked back at Brian Donohue’s journey two seasons ago to the secret spot where this baseball mud is harvested.
