Bobblehead giveaway in Baltimore postponed because of color
2006-07-14 11:44
by Bob Timmermann

The Orioles were planning to give away 20,000 Brian Roberts bobbleheads Saturday, but they were rejected and sent back to the manufacturer because they were delivered with Roberts being depicted as being black.

Or possibly dark blue.

Or some other hue that Brian Roberts is not.

I once bought a generic Dodgers bobblehead that was 50% off. It was the "Asian" Dodger. I know this because there was a label on the bottom that said so. However, the "Asian" Dodger doesn't much resemble my Norihiro Nakamura bobblehead. If interested, I will try to bring a camer in sometime and take pictures of the two "gentlemen" for comparison sake.

I'm not anticipating a lot of interest though.

Maybe is was Hee Seop Choi and he just didn't hit well enough to get his name scribed on it.

Maybe they were trying to depict Brian Roberts as Vishnu.

Are they sure that's not just the Brian Roberts/Nightcrawler bobblehead?

Maybe the company thought it was Tobias Funke bobblehead night.
