A ton of Major League Baseball- quality infield dirt costs $75. That’ll buy about a tablespoonful once it has been to Yankee Stadium.

The New York Yankees said today they are selling about 1,500 pieces of memorabilia from their old stadium, including the dirt used during the last game there in September. All Yankee dirt since 1952, including the dirt used in the new $1.5 billion stadium across the street from the old building, has come from Beam Clay in Great Meadows, New Jersey.
