Before the Oakland Athletics move from the Bay Area, some fans are leaving with unique souvenirs to remember their beloved team.
During the final home series that the team will play at the Oakland Coliseum in California, some fans literally removed seats from the ballpark. While that decision was likely not sanctioned by those who worked for the team, others are getting help from Oakland employees.
One of the groundskeepers for the organization took a shovel and dug up dirt from the field to give to fans. It was a beautiful moment for those lucky fans who will now always have a physical piece of the Oakland Coliseum.

Although many fans are upset with team ownership for how everything about the move to Las Vegas was handled, others will keep fond memories of their time in Oakland.
Those who got the dirt from this kind groundskeeper can transfer it from the water bottles they received it to a more permanent and fitting home.
