Sent my answer by PM.

[catoblue]

if i had to guess, it would be gum.

[Ump29]

Not gum. Hint - look under the section on pitching.

[Big Red]

Rosin?

[ukce1861]

Licorice.

[Big Red]

:WTF

I was looking in section 8.00, but lo & behold, here it is...

3.02 No player shall intentionally discolor or damage the ball by rubbing it with soil, rosin, paraffin,

licorice

, sand-paper, emery-paper or other foreign substance.

Now there HAS to be some colorful story behind that one! :wow:

My first guess was Mounds, and that is what I PMed. However, there is no mention of "mounds," only "mound."
