After Jake Arrieta no-hit the Dodgers (then wore pajamas), the organization sent him some souvenirs from his big night:

Thx to the @Dodgers for taking the time to send us the pitching rubber along w/ other game mementos, it means a lot to my fam & I. #respect — Jake Arrieta (@JArrieta34) September 1, 2015

That's the pitching rubber from that night and Arrieta told ESPN he also got some of the dirt from the mound. My two takeaways here are:

1. Pretty cool, Dodgers!

2. I had no idea that pitching rubber was that big. Perhaps because my baby-like brain can't comprehend three-dimensional space, I never thought about how far it dips below the surface of the mound. It's 60 pounds! Imagine how much the Dodgers had to pay for shipping!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy your dirt and your giant brick of rubber, Jake. Congratulations.
