Any knowledgeable baseball fan will tell you that the big league baseball teams never use brand new baseballs in a game. They're too shiny to play with. So, what do umpires use to prep the balls and dull the shine?
New Jersey mud.
Such symptoms are consistent with exposure to elemental mercury, the liquid or "quicksilver" version of mercury sometimes used in thermometers. According to the Cleveland Clinic, this form of mercury is "usually harmless if you touch or swallow it because its slippery texture won’t absorb into your skin or intestines." But if you breathe in any of it, watch out—symptoms occur "immediately" and can include coughing, breathing trouble, nausea, bleeding gums, and a "metallic taste in your mouth."
Willie Howard Mays’ died at the age of 93. There’s a story about Willie.
The Say Hey Kid’s first season in the bigs was shaping up to be an awful one. He’d gotten no hits. He was a rookie with the worst record in the league. Period. After 26 plate appearances he’d hit the ball only once.
Once.
Mays’ batting average was hovering above zero.
One day, after a crushing defeat, young Willie marched off to the showers and cried. He was ready to quit the game. That’s what he told his manager. Too much pressure. Too many expectations. You could almost hear the proverbial fat lady warming up.
His manager found him crying, face in hands. Willie begged the manager to send him back down.
“It’s too hard,” Willie cried. “I don’t belong in the majors, send me back to the minors.”
But the manager refused. The skipper used all the clichéd inspirational coaching phrases. “There ain’t no I in team.” “Can’t never could.” “Life’s a sewer, you get out what you put in.”
But the pep-talk wasn’t working. So the manager gave Willie some practical advice. The words just came out of the old man’s mouth.
“You’ll get two hits tomorrow, Willie. If you’ll just pull up your pants.”

At the conclusion of the melee, 16 penalties were called on 13 players, and the teams combined to see a full dozen promptly kicked out for the balance of the game. Panthers head coach Paul Maurice was not at all displeased, with the way his team stood up nor with the result.
“It got a little snarly. That was fun. It was good. Sometimes hockey can get like that, it is what makes the game so darned great. It is graceful, beautiful, physical and angry all at the same time. It was good. Probably good for both teams.”
