SAN FRANCISCO – A day after their farewells, Matt Chapman and Mark Canha each had a piece of the Oakland Coliseum with them.

On the top shelf of Canha’s locker in his home team’s clubhouse at Oracle Park sat a small Gatorade bottle half-filled with dirt he’d picked up around home base after the Giants won their last game, 4-2, at the 58-year-old multipurpose arena across the bay from San Francisco.

Chapman’s memento took up too much space to be in his locker. He asked for and received the third-base bag, a fitting parting gift for the player who won three of his four Gold Gloves playing that position in Oakland, where he spent the first five years of his career with Canha and manager Bob Melvin.

“I’m just glad we won on the last day there, our last game in Oakland. Being there and (Melvin) being the manager of the Giants and me being on the team, it’s a full-circle moment,” Chapman said. “It was very emotional playing there. I’m glad I don’t have to play there anymore. It’s not easy to go back.”

Canha, a San Jose native who also started with the A’s, was still wearing his uniform when he walked to home base and filled his makeshift canister.

“I couldn’t really decide if I wanted to do it or not, but then I thought, ‘Maybe I’ll regret it if I don’t,'” he said. “So I got a little something to take home.”

In seven seasons in Oakland, Canha was hit by pitches 46 times while in the right-handed batter’s box – a franchise record – so his memorabilia was a fitting one.

“I know it might not be the prettiest stadium, but I’ve always liked playing there,” Canha said. “It was just nice to see the place again and be a part of it. Especially for the Bay Bridge Series. One last Bay Bridge Series was cool. It was just fun for me personally to experience it again.”

The trio were together in Oakland for five years, and Melvin made sure the rest of the team understood the importance of Sunday’s game.

“Bob said something to us before the game. How meaningful it was to him and to some people in the room talking about me and Chapman,” Canha said. “In the meetings, he said, ‘This is our last time here. It’s important for us. It’s important for our fans.’ It was cool.”

While Melvin arrived extra early to take it all in one last time, Chapman said he treated it like any other day.

Chapman found his way to Melvin’s office for a postgame toast and spent a moment with his catching partner Canha before the game.
