That didn’t take long!

Less than a month after Manny Ramirez re-signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers for a cool 45 million, they are offering up a Bobble head doll with his likeness! The Dodgers SGA ManRam Bobblehead will be complete with what looks to be his 2008 “shorter” version dread locks.

This Dodgers Stadium giveaway will be offered on July 22nd when LA plays host to the Cincinnati Reds. The first 50,000 fans will take home the poly resin version of #99 – complete with goatee, dreads & an excessive amount of pine tar and dirt on his helmet! So, even if, as Manny put it: “Age is catching up to him” – you’ll have a sweet souvenir of “Manny being Manny!”
