Earlier this year, Jim Harbaugh was a first base coach for the Oakland A’s in spring training and apparently he left them with a piece of Michigan.
Drew Pomeranz has a Michigan FB helmet in his locker today. Given to the team by Jim Harbaugh, Bob Melvin awards it to player of the game

Melvin gave it Pomeranz last night post game and his teammates made him put it on – "it's heavy"

Giving out a player of the game award within a team has gotten more popular over the years, but this is the first time that another team’s helmet or apparel has become a player of the game award for another team. Definitely a unique and cool player of the game award, much better than a shovel or a fedora or something.
