“DIRT, HERE!  GET YOUR DIRT HERE! FRESH DIRT!  DIRT, HERE!

Fellow baseball fans, perhaps this will be something heard in ballparks around the country when stadiums allow fans back in the building…but I couldn’t believe it when I opened this email I got the other day…just about every team is now selling dirt – DIRT! – in these little jars from their stadiums for the outrageous sums of an average of $40-$50 per vial!

Now on one hand, it’s funny, and quaint, and an absolutely clever marketing gimmick, but c’mon – fifty bucks a jar?
