If game-used bats, balls and apparel are not enough to satisfy the serious baseball memorabilia collector, the Angels are offering something a little different this winter.

As part of the team’s 50th anniversary celebration, the team is offering the chance for fans to purchase, for $25, a piece of Angel Stadium field turf that saw game action during the 2010 season and the July All-Star game. Proceeds will benefit the Angels Baseball Foundation.

While supplies last, participating fans commemorative 50th anniversary box, courtesy of Scotts, to display their cut of grass. The promotion will be held Sunday, Dec. 12, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Dec. 13 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., and Dec. 14 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Fans can enter through Gate 5 at the southeast corner of the park.

The team requests that donations be made in cash only. Fans can also pre-order and reserve their field turf and commemorative box at www.angelsbaseball.com/50.
