One of the most popular Twins players now has a bobble, ahem, shell. Not a bobblehead, but a bobble-shell. Willians Astudillo, aka, La Tortuga, is featured by the Twins former affiliate, the Rochester Red Wings. They planned to give this one out during the COVID-halted 2020 season. I was fortunate enough to secure one for my collection.

I blogged about this set last summer but needed to set it up again and remember what a bobblehead giveaway actually is like. The Lindsay Whalen Legacy collection. These are the last 4 bobbleheads that were part of a giveaway in 2020 before the world flipped upside down. The Gophers sold a bobblehead mini-plan that featured these 4 bobbleheads and tickets to 4 home games in February and March of 2020. The next 4 blog posts will feature up close pictures of each one.
