  • Russell Aubrey "Lena" Blackburne (October 23 1886 – February 29 1968) was an American infielder, manager, coach and [[scout] in Major League Baseball. Between 1910 and 1927, Blackburne played for the Chicago White Sox (1910, 1912, 1914-1915, 1927), Cincinnati Reds (1918), Boston Braves (1919) and Philadelphia Phillies (1919). He batted and threw right-handed. Following his playing career, Blackburne managed the White Sox (1928-29) and coached for the Philadelphia Athletics (1933-1954). A native of Clifton Heights, Pennsylvania, Blackburne is best remembered for his eponymous rubbing mud, used by umpires on new baseballs to remove their slippery finish. Blackburne broke into the majors with the White Sox in 1910, appearing in part of five seasons, and split the 1919 season with the Braves and Phillies. In an eight-season playing career, Blackburne was a .214 hitter with four home runs and 139 RBI in 550 games played. As a fielder, he appeared in 539 games at shortstop (213), third base (180) and second (144) and first (2), and also relieved in one game. After playing, managing and coaching the White Sox from 1927-32, he went on to become a coach in 1933 with the Philadelphia Athletics of Connie Mack. Blackburne stayed with the Athletics as a scout when the club moved to Kansas City, Missouri. As a manager in the major leagues, he posted a 99-133 record for a .427 winning percentage. He managed the Toronto Maple Leafs of the International League for parts of three seasons: 1916, 1921, and 1932. In each case he was hired as a mid-season replacement. Blackburne died in Riverside, New Jersey at age 81.
