Teddy - Mascot Bobblehead - Badlands Big Sticks

The Big Sticks gave away 250 bobbleheads of their mascot, Teddy on July 27th, 2018.  

The 2nd version of Teddy was given away by the team on July 23rd, 2019, with same quantity of 250.  

Expedition League Bobblehead Set

Super super excited to share this post.  I’ve been working on this bobblehead subset since 2018.  It’s been a long journey but I’m finally able to say its complete - at least currently, thru the 2020 season.  Although I believe there were a couple teams that thought about doing bobbleheads last season but ultimately scrapped those plans because of the pandemic and loss of fans/games.  Hopefully we’ll see more scheduled for 2021!!

So it all started in 2018 when a new collegiate summer baseball league was formed, called the Expedition League.  I learned about the league and the possibility of bobbleheads in early 2018.  I followed this from afar but knowing I wasn’t really close to any city, it was going to be tough.  In 2018 there were 8 teams in the league and 7 of them did bobbleheads.  At that time I knew I wanted to go for the set and I figured if the league did well, there would be more in the future. 

Thru the 2020 season there are a total of 11 bobbleheads in the Expedition League set.  3 teams did a second bobble (Souris Valley, Badlands and Pierre) and Wheat City joined the league and did their inaugural bobblehead, all in 2019.  Unfortunately one team folded (Hub City) but the league gained another team with Wheat City in 2019 - the Fremont Moo.  And in 2021, 3 teams start their inaugural journey - the Sioux Falls Sunfish, Mining City Tommyknockers and the Canyon County Spuds.  Check out the picture below.  I’ll also make individual posts for each bobblehead!

Sneak Peek - Badlands Big Sticks Mascot - Teddy

Earlier this year I had heard about a couple Expedition League teams that were possibly going to run bobblehead promotions at their games this summer.  The league was formed in 2017 and began their inaugural season this past May!  This is the first peek at the Badlands Big Sticks Mascot - Teddy!  The bobblehead night is Friday July 27th, grab your tickets here!! 

The Badlands Big Sticks are located in Dickinson, North Dakota and play their games at Astoria Field.  Without further ado, check out this awesome bobblehead!

This startup collegiate summer baseball league has been a huge success and I for one, hope they stick around for a long time and keep doing bobbleheads!!  The detail on this bobble is great and I'm sure plenty people in the area will love them!
