In response to "Plus they didn't bring out new, shiny, bright-white balls all the time during the game. They were scuffed and dirty much of the time during gameplay -- nm" by mara

Yup, yet another advantage for the pitcher.

The ball isn't slippery, has less life to it from getting hit around and a good pitcher knows how to use the scuffs to his advantage. A scuffed up ball can do weird things if thrown properly, like wiffle ball weird.
