Pre 1920 they would try and keep it in play the whole game. They would even get it back if it was fouled into the crowd. After Carl Mays hit and killed Ray Chapman in 1920 they decided they wanted a ball in play that could be seen so they would substitute a new one if the old one got too dirty. But previous to that the players would actually try and muddy it up with dirt and tobacco spit.
