Sneak Peek - Jose Berrios Fort Myers Miracle

The Miracle are giving away Jose Berrios bobbleheads today!  Below is a picture of the bobble that the first 1000 fans will take home! 

Sneak Peek - Eddie Rosario - Beloit Snappers

The Beloit Snappers are paying tribute to hot-hitting Eddie Rosario this weekend!  Rosario has been one of the lone bright spots for the Twins this season and now he gets his first bobblehead!  Head over to Beloit on Fathers Day (this Sunday) to grab a Rosario bobblehead!

New Addition - Kirby Puckett Bobblehead

I just blogged about this bobblehead, but I received it in the mail and needed to do my own pictures and a new add post! This is the latest SGA bobble from the Toledo Mud Hens!  Kirby played with them for a short period of time, but since he's one of the best ever, a bobblehead had to be made!  It's a very nice bobblehead, done by AGP.  It exceeds my expectations and when it comes to Puckett, the bar is set high! 

Sneak Peek - Kirby Puckett Toledo Mud Hens

This is the bobblehead I've been looking most forward to this summer!  Kirby Puckett bobblehead day is Friday, June 8th, when the Toledo Mud Hens giveaway 2000 Puckett bobbleheads.  Kirby played for the Mud Hens in 1984 where he started the season but was quickly promoted after only 21 games.  Therein lies the rub!  Late in 2017 the Mud Hens asked the social media world for some help.  Since Kirby only played 21 games for the Mud Hens, they didn't recall his number.  All club historians had to go on was game logs and record books, none of which included a picture of him with his jersey.  Eventually the riddle was solved and the bobblehead would depict Puckett with number 28 on the back of his jersey!  The sources, a typed note to a superfan that included a phrase that said Puckett wore number 28 and a printed scorecard from the 84 season that included his jersey number.  This is an awesome bobblehead!  

Sneak Peek - Joe Mauer Fort Myers Miracle

I mentioned this in an earlier post, but today's the giveaway day for Joe Mauer bobbles in Fort Myers.  This is the 2nd in a set of 5 of Fort Myers/Twins bobbleheads.  Full size, great detail and that awesome Miracle jersey! 

New Add - Zach Johnson (Cedar Rapids Kernels)

Here's another new addition of mine, Zach Johnson from the Cedar Rapids Kernels.  I don't have a ton of golfers, but this one fits my collection as its from a Twins affiliate (granted, the giveaway happened around 2010 or earlier, when they weren't the affiliate).  It's a pretty hard to find bobble! 

New Addition - Royce Lewis Bobblehead

This one was unveiled in my last sneak peek.  As usual, the Kernels have done a great job on another bobblehead!  It was a pretty successful night as well!  Lewis is a stud in the making and this will hopefully be his first of several Twins (or their affiliate) bobbles!

Sneak Peek - Royce Lewis Bobblehead

Tonight, the Cedar Rapids Kernels (Twins single A affiliate) will be giving away a bobblehead of last year's #1 draft pick, Royce Lewis!  The Kernels have been spot on the last several years with their bobblehead giveaways and this is no different.  1000 of these will be handed out to all fans and it's sure to be a popular bobble!  Get your tickets here!!

Sneak Peek - Brian Dozier Fort Myers Miracle

Today, the Miracle giveaway Brian Dozier bobbleheads to the first 1000 fans!  This is the first in a set of 5 that will surely be a popular hit with Twins fans across the country!

New Addition - Alex Stalock - Iowa Wild

A couple weeks ago the Iowa Wild did their second giveaway of the season (read about the first one here).  This time around, its of local netminder Alex Stalock.  I'm a huge fan of goaltender bobbleheads, mainly because of the detail that goes into them.  This is an absolute...ahem...breakaway (see what I did there?!)!  From the form, to the sweater, and obviously the mask (which is removable) the marketing team nailed it.  

Sneak Peek - Byron Buxton Fort Myers Miracle (5th of 5)

The final bobblehead in this set of 5 is Twins stud center fielder, Byron Buxton.  Mark your calendars for September 1st!  Of course Buxton is making a jumping catch, showing off his gold glove caliber skills.  This completes the Fort Myers set in 2018 and I have a feeling Twins fans everywhere will love it! 

Sneak Peek - Torii Hunter Fort Myers Miracle (4th of 5)

Torii gets the nod as the 4th bobblehead in this series of 5 from the Fort Myers Miracle.  Hunter is one of the most popular Twins ever and definitely deserving of this bobblehead honor, on July 21st.  The depiction of him tipping his cap to his fans is pretty awesome!  Last up is Byron Buxton!

Sneak Peek - Jose Berrios Fort Myers Miracle (3rd of 5)

Next up in the series is Jose Berrios!  The Miracle are giving away this bobblehead on June 30th.  The up and coming Twins starter is popular here and most likely just as popular in Fort Myers!  Next on the list is the one and only Torii Hunter! 

Sneak Peek - Joe Mauer Fort Myers Miracle (2nd of 5)

Here's the 2nd bobblehead the Fort Myers Miracle are giving away in a series of 5, Joe Mauer.  May 19th is the date you'd wanna get down to Fort Myers for this one!  With Mauer's classic swing on display this is sure to be a coveted bobblehead!  Stay tuned for the next one - Jose Berrios! 

Sneak Peek - Brian Dozier Fort Myers Miracle (1st of 5)

In just 2 short weeks, the Miracle will be giving away a Brian Dozier bobblehead!  This will be the 1st of 5 bobbles Fort Myers is doing.  They are celebrating their affiliation with the big club.  Soon, you'll see pictures of their next giveaway (Joe Mauer)!  I believe these will be full sized bobbles and I love the look of this one, its a fielding action pose of the All Star 2nd Baseman! 

Sneak Peek - Mike Trout (Kernels)

The Cedar Rapids Kernels are giving away a Mike Trout bobblehead this Saturday, the 17th of June! I know, I know, Trout has nothing to do with the Twins or Minnesota.  However, the Kernels certainly do!  Obviously they are an affiliate of the Twins and a great one since its not a bad drive from the Twin Cities to Cedar Rapids!  The Kernels used to be an Angels affiliate and Trout is one of the most popular players that played for them.  Plenty of minor league teams do giveaways of guys that have no affiliation with their current major league affiliate.  I'm doing the same thing if I'm the Kernels. What's even better about this bobblehead, Success Promotions created/produced it!    Click here to order tickets!!  As you all know, I'm a big fan of theirs!  Without further ado, here it is!

New Addition - Rocky

Here's another recent addition.  Rocky from the New Britain Rock Cats, former Twins affiliate.  If you have read my blog for a while, you'll know that a lot of minor league teams did 2 versions of the same bobblehead.  The first is the giveaway version (which this is) and the second is the retail version. Typically the only difference is the addition of a sponsor plaque.  I've had the retail version of this one for a while, but recently was able to add the SGA version to the 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!
