From the official MLB rules:
Official Rules:
3.00 Game Preliminaries
3.01
Before the game begins the umpire shall:
(a) Require strict observance of all rules governing implements of play and equipment of players;
(b) Be sure that all playing lines (heavy lines on Diagrams No. 1 and No. 2) are marked with lime, chalk or other white material easily distinguishable from the ground or grass;
