What would fans give to own a piece of the ground that Shohei Ohtani walked on?
At least $99, the Dodgers hope.
Dirt from the batter’s box taken from the Dodgers’ first home game of 2024, and their April 21 game against the New York Mets, are now being sold at Dodger Stadium. The dirt has been authenticated by Major League Baseball, a common procedure for Major League Baseball memorabilia sales.
Images taken by Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times and Bleacher Report, and shared on social media, reveal the ground Ohtani walks on isn’t cheap.
