I guess if Elvis can have impersonators everywhere, then even our 44th president can have one as well. The Cyclones tried to pass off that Obama was actually in the house the night of his bobblehead last week. The likeness wasn’t so bad, but one glaring difference was that the guy threw off the mound right-handed when all Obama afficionados know that the President is a lefty. Funny but poor job by Brooklyn in...

This Week in Bobbleheads – Week 11
I’m still aghast over the Rays forcing the Clearwater Threshers to cancel their remaining bobblehead giveaways for the 09 season. Is it a coincidence that the next scheduled giveaway was Pat Burrell, the former Phillie and present Ray? Don’t get me wrong, I rooted for the Rays last year over the Phils and still believe that if JC Romero the cheater wasn’t on the team, coupled with the series of rain delays, Tampa would...
Looking For A Pat Burrell Bobblehead? Don’t Go To Clearwater
As Eric M. has mentioned here several times this season, the Clearwater Threshers are celebrating the 2008 World Series win of its parent club, the Philadelphia Phillies, by staging bobblehead giveaway nights in honor of each regular member of the starting lineup. Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins already had their days; Pat Burrell was scheduled to be handed out last night – until the mighty Tampa Bay Rays reached down and put the kibosh...
This Week in Bobbleheads – Week 10
Week 9 marked the first bobble rainout of the season. Ordinarily I would just shrug it off, but since I was headed to the Wilmington Everett Teaford giveaway before the arrival of Noah’s ark, I’m just venting here. BTW new date on that is still TBA. Onto Week 10: Memphis Redbirds 6/8/09 Stubby Clapp – Didn’t Jimmy Dugan say to avoid the clapp? His 2nd Redbirds honor for this canadian. Lakewood BlueClaws 6/9/09 Lou...

This Week in Bobbleheads – Week 8 updates
Even baring a likeness of our fearless leader doesn’t stop problems from happening in the land of bobbleheads. Seems the W. Virginia Power’s version of Barack Obama in a basketball jersey scheduled to be given out on 5/30 has been held up at customs. The team is providing vouchers so that fans can pick them up when they finally arrive. Also, the Tim Lincecum bobblehead that the Connecticut Defenders are distributing on 5/30 will...

This Week in Bobbleheads – Week 6
What a week this has been! Alex Rodriguez has a dramatic return from his injury with a first pitch homer on 5/8/09 and Manny Ramirez shows his feminine side by being the latest superstar to test positive for PEDs. Still though, bobblehead promos are front and center on my end of this blog. Here’s the lineup this week: San Francisco Giants 5/12/09 Lou Seal (Chinese) (Mascot) – Part of a Chinese Heritage Night Promotion. ...
