Bobblechair Greatness

On Twitter today I posted this picture.

This was a giveaway several weeks back on a weekend where I couldn't make it up to Pittsburgh.  I was super bummed.  Well, eBay to the rescue!

In case you don't remember here is the moment the bobblechair captures.


Let's take a close look at the greatest stadium giveaway in the history of mankind.




 I applaud the marketing folks for the Pirates with the taking a unique/funny moment and running with it.  My only complaint is that this doesn't look much like Walk, but beggars can't be choosers.

Thanks for reading.

      The Pirates bobbleheads were great this year. The Cervelli actually sang....

      Ha! I didn't even notice the socks! That's funny.
      Pittsburgh's marketing group produced a winner right there, no doubt.

    I saw a few pop up on eBay, nice to see that you snagged one! I wonder if he's willing to sign one?

      I heard he signed a bunch the day of the game. He and Steve Blass are very accessible. A few years back when they did a dual bobble of Blass and Manny Sanguillen my friend got both to sign that same day. Quite a feat.

      Bob Walk is a living public service announcement.

    The Cervelli was great this year too. It sings!

    That's awesome! It's not likely... but I hope to one day stumble across this bobble at the flea market, so I can add it to my bobble shelf.

      eBay is a hard one to buy bobbles from. The shipping usually kills you.

    Agreeing with the blogosphere, that is one imaginative and fun bobble!
