Getting your player ready...
For those unable to attend tonight’s All-Star Game in St. Louis, Nikco Sports is offering a sample of infield dirt as part of a limited edition collectible also featuring a photo from the game and a duplicate of the lineup card. Next to the photo and lineup card will be an engraved nameplate that notes the score, date, venue, MVP and Home Run Derby champion, along with a special All-Star Game pin. Your price for this little piece of baseball history is not dirt cheap — $89.95. But, who knows, maybe the dirt you receive will contain some DNA for cloning another Albert Pujols.
