Vin Scully to be immortalized–with a bobblehead

January 10, 2012 by Leave a Comment

While we’re on the subject of baseball promotions, we should tell you of one of baseball’s best coming in 2012. If you’re going to be in Southern California in Late August, you better make it a priority to get down to Chavez Ravine. You’ll come away with quite a prize.

Hall of Fame Broadcaster Vin Scully will be featured on the club’s final bobblehead night on Aug. 30 when the Dodgers take on Arizona. Entering an unprecedented 63rd season broadcasting the Dodgers, Scully’s 62 years of consecutive service with the Dodgers is the longest of any sports broadcaster with one team. This marks the Hall of Famer’s first Dodger Stadium bobblehead.

We’re big fans of bobbleheads. After all the bright lights, glitter, and fancy hair clip giveaways; bobbleheads remain at the sanctum of baseball’s best freebies. If Vin Scully’s head is going to be on one; it’s worth getting to the stadium or paying a hefty price on eBay for.

Jason Heyward is presumably returning to lineup tonight

June 15, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Jason Heyward sounds like his return from a fractured ego sore right shoulder will happen tonight at Turner Field, and to really make everything smoothed over; it’s his bobblehead night!

Heyward told a person close to him this morning that he’s feeling good and ready to return to the lineup. After two minor league rehab games with Triple-A Gwinnett up in Indianapolis, Heyward traveled back to Atlanta today. Heyward will likely take batting practice before the Braves make a final decision on activating him but he told this person his shoulder is feeling as good as it’s felt in a long time and he’s “ready to get back to the office.”

Yea, whatever. Let’s just hope he hits .260 or better with some pop so that he doesn’t need to go back on the DL for some type of imaginary injury that multiple MRI’s cannot detect. We knew we never should have sponsored his B-R page.

UPDATE (3:40 PM): David O’ Brien reports that Heyward is in the lineup, hitting 7th.

You’ve seen this already. Well this video above brings a whole new level of awesomeness to it all. It’s really a shame that lost in the minute details of possibly the biggest series in Cincinnati in over a decade is that; well we got swept and we’re now in second place.

Hat tip: The Great One that is Mo Egger of 700WLW radio.

July 4th is Jay Bruce Bobblehead Night

July 1, 2009 by Leave a Comment

We’re not too happy about having to miss out on this one. Jay Bruce’s first bobblehead giveaway will be awarded to the first 30,000 fans in attendance at this Saturday’s afternoon game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

If we didn’t have a wedding to go to in Indiana, we’d surely be on hand for this. Instead, we’ll hope for the game to make National TV to see if the Reds can put together an initial winning record on Bruce’s bobblehead night.

Reminds us of Adam Dunn’s first bobblehead night in September 2002 at old Riverfront/Cinergy Field. Arrived at the stadium a bit early (like 1:00 PM). It was our first bobblehead night. We didn’t want to miss out. It wasn’t quite that big of a deal. No need to camp out. Our old Ford Explorer broke down. Didn’t get home until 4 in the morning. Fun times.
