LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers have opted for a unique way to commemorate Shohei Ohtani’s memorable first season with the organization – selling dirt from Dodger Stadium.
Fans can buy two types of game-used dirt, one from Opening Day and another from when Ohtani passed Hideki Matsui for the most home runs by a Japanese player on April 21. The Opening Day dirt costs $99, and the Ohtani-specific dirt is $149.
The Dodgers began selling 50 units of each sample of dirt at the beginning of their homestand on Sept. 20. As of Tuesday night, only one unit was left from when Ohtani passed Matsui and a handful remained from Opening Day.
