La Tortuga gets a Bobble....shell!

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.  

Sneak Peek - Ron Shelton Bobblehead

Here's another one from the Rochester Red Wings, Ron Shelton.  Shelton played for the Red Wings back in the late 60s.  Of course he's famous for being a movie director and writer - most notably, Bull Durham & Tin Cup.  They did a pretty cool bobble - the baseball player on one side and the movie producer on the other.  I love the creativity that minor league clubs like the Red Wings come up with.  Get your tickets here!

Sneak Peek - Byron Buxton Bobblehead

Here's a sneak peek at the Buxton bobblehead that the Rochester Red Wings are giving away on September 3rd this season!  I'm sure this will be a popular bobble as Buxton is still a favorite in Twins land.  Click here to buy tickets!!

Sneak Peek - Fred Costello Bobblehead

The Rochester Red Wings are giving away a bobblehead of organist Icon - Fred Costello on August 2nd.  It's a sweet looking bobblehead and I'm definitely going to add this one to my collection.  Read more about the giveaway at the Rochester Red Wings website.

Want List (Part 9)

Here are a few more Twins related bobbleheads that I'd eventually like to find.  First are a couple major leaguers, or umm, semi-major leaguers...you'll see what I mean by that in, 3...2...1

Yep, that's Aaron Hicks when he played for the Beloit Snappers and Trevor Plouffe when he was on the Rochester Red Wings roster.  I've seen these before, they aren't all that rare, I'm not willing to pay some sort of ridiculous amount for them tho!  Next we have a couple former Twins.  Gary Gaetti, the current manager of the Sugar Land Skeeters.  And a New Britain Rock Cats bobblehead of David Ortiz.  

Bobbleheads for Sale

A buddy of mine had an intriguing idea for my blog.  We, as bobblehead collectors, know there are several people looking to sell their bobbleheads.  Maybe they aren't collectors and only have a few, maybe they have duplicates they'd like to move or perhaps they are reducing their collection in general.  This page is specifically for to buy/sell bobbleheads from other blog readers.

I'll update the blog with pictures and pricing information.  If you see something you are interested in, leave a comment and the sale process begins!
