While normally, the Dodgers give bobbleheads away to the first 40,000 fans in attendance, on Wednesday, the Dodgers made an incredibly exciting announcement: All fans in attendance Wednesday night will receive a Shohei Ohtani bobblehead.
While fans were already waiting in line hours ahead of first pitch, the Dodgers wanted to take care of the fans who have been an incredible source of inspiration to the team for the last year.
So, for fans heading to Dodger Stadium on Wednesday night for the early evening game, there’s no need to fret: There will be a bobblehead waiting for you when you arrive.

Incredible Announcement? A few more bobbleheads? C’mon, concessions at half price, or an added bobblehead day with no advance notice, those are a bigger deal. Still, incredible? Well, maybe if Ohtani autographed a thou or more of them. But just a few more bobbleheads, on a Wednesday Twilight game? BFD.
Koufax pitching. Drysdale rising from the dead. Kershaw making his first start after a while. Ohtani making his first start. Those would be bordering on an Incredible Announcement. But a few more bobbleheads? I know they’re popular, but still, yawn. 20% of them will be on ebay tomorrow.
Now, nothing against Ohtani, and his game winner tonight, he’s at worst a generational talent, perhaps one of the all time greats, and seems to be a good person. But 25% more bobbleheads on a give away night? Hardly an Incredible Announcement.
I know the writers here have to try to pump it up a bit, but c’mon, don’t over do it.
