I've picked up dirt here and there. And the Red Sox sent me some Fenway dirt in a fan pack thing my daughter and I sent off to a bunch of teams for.
It's a fun thing to do. What I'd really love, as an A's fan, would be to get some dirt or soil from each location the A's ever played. I have Coliseum dirt, but KC Municipal, Shibe, and the old Columbia Avenue Grounds...I'd love to do the old archaeological trick of digging X amount down to get a soil sample from the locations representing when the parks would have been active. Just for me.

I actually own mound dirt from George Brett Nolan Ryan's last game in uniform (also the last game at old Arlington Stadium) in 1993. I pocketed this dirt myself on Oct. 1, 1993.
I also have Anaheim Stadium dirt obtained from game 7 in the 2002 World Series in which the Angels finally won the World Series. Finally, I have stadium dirt from old Tigers Stadium from Sept. 27, 1999 (last game at "The Corner"). I swapped a friend for some of my Ryan mound dirt. Silly, but fun!

I bought this on Ebay a while back. I kinda like the idea of a bit of dirt from each ballpark. The only dirt I collected myself was in 1998. I visited Babe Ruth's grave on the 50th anniversary of his death. I took some dirt from the top of his grave. See below.

I got a set of poker chip looking dirt from all the stadiums for Christmas a few years ago. I dig it although I collect ballparks with my son, not dirt. It's neat however to see how different they each are. Some are coarse, some fine, some like clay, some dark and some lighter.
