Evansville Otters Are Selling Jars of Dirt From Historic Bosse Field

Evansville Otters Are Selling Jars of Historic Bosse Field Dirt

The season is over for our beloved Evansville Otters, but fans can still take a piece of the ballpark home. Ahead of turf renovations, the team is bottling dirt from the Bosse Field infield – a small, affordable souvenir for anyone who loves baseball history.

Why Bosse Field Dirt Is a Big Deal

Bosse Field has a long story. It opened in 1915, and it is the third oldest baseball stadium in the United States still in use. The ballpark was also the site of the movie A League of Their Own. Generations of players and fans have made memories on this infield, which is why a jar of its dirt feels like more than a novelty.

A jar of Bosse Field dirt is only $5, so it makes an easy gift, a desk display, or a keepsake for a collector of ballpark memorabilia. Once the renovations are done, the playing surface Bosse Field has had for over a century will change. The supply is also tied to this one moment, so anyone who wants a jar shouldn't wait too long.
