Home Run Derby

Fans looking for Seattle Mariners bobbleheads have been given an early National Beheading Day present (it comes every September 2nd, get to know your obscure holidays, people).

To capitalize on the most fascinating of giveaways, the Mariners have made one ginormous life-sized bobblehead in the likeness of each of their four most popular players. Ichiro, Raul Ibanez, Felix Hernandez, and Kenji Johjima are the men featured in this auction of near replicas.

Each of these massive collectibles measures 6 feet in height, but more impressive is the striking resemblance each of these bobbleheads has … to the other three life-sized dolls.

New thing starting today …. Baseball Commercials. Team promos, player endorsements, etc. Because I liked the Mets commercial post a week ago.

First up, the Seattle Mariners. And Ichiro.

Gotta love the theatrics some players have before their at-bats. This one lookslike it’s based in the martial arts.
