I have one simple request.
And no, it’s not to have Waiver Sharks with frickin’ laser beams attached to their heads. In fact - it has nothing to do with laser beams…not that there’s anything wrong with the occasional laser beam…
We will be unveiling our NEW 2010 Bobblehead Daze Logo or Bobblehead Days as some still like to refer to it - next week.
So, please allow me to indulge & take a few minutes to reflect on the archival Bobblehead Daze navigation buttons we’ve previously employed.
Does anyone recognize the TWO SGA Bobbleheads we featured during years one and two of our most popular side blog?
2008
The 2008 edition which incidentally was created more or less as a last minute “filler” blog, featured the Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Zach Duke Bobblehead.
I snapped this photo (No Photoshop was used – I swear!) while WaiverSharks writer Ryan Roach and his brother were busy shagging some batting practice fly balls hit off of Jason Bay back in 2006. I recall Mike Jacobs, who was than playing for the Florida Marlins lacing a couple screamers out of the park & landing them in the Allegheny River . The Pirates 1B/OF Garrett Jones hit a game winner last year that reminded me of the dingers Jacobs was cranking out of the park during BP at PNC.
2009
Ah yes, 2009 helped popularize the Mohawk Daric Barton Bobblehead. I’m really going to miss this proud bobblehead which has adorned the upper right hand corner of our site for over a year. But, alas it’s a new year & we must move on!
This was the first SGA bobblehead I ever bid on during an eBay auction and actually won. So that’s why I selected it to have such a prominent role in our site’s overall look.
It’s too bad Daric Barton has yet to break out with the Oakland A’s, but this Sacramento Rivercats SGA is still one of the coolest bobbleheads around.
2010
Hmmm…I wonder who will it be???
Check back soon & I’ll explain how we came to decide on this season’s featured bobblehead pic! Or, if the suspense is just too intense – (I doubt that!) Just read our New Years Day 2009 Bobblehead of the Year article where we told you who you will be seeing in the top right hand corner of WaiverSharks for the next year or so.
