” Fear the Walking Dead Sox! “
Best Item of the Day
Lowell Spinners (Red Sox Short A) – Zombie Player Bobblehead
This is a well timed promotion from the Lowell Spinners if we’ve ever seen one. Tonight is premier of the spin-off series of the hit zombie gore-fest the Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead, on AMC. Or maybe this is just a witty commentary on how bad the Red Sox season has gone this year. We kid, we kid…the Red Sox are terrible this year, but this “Balking Dead” bobble is a clever way to promote the new TV show. Either way, who doesn’t like the idea of a zombie baseball player bobblehead?
There’s been a few around the leagues in recent years. The Kansas City Royals put their own out a few weeks back. Hopefully they don’t become too prevalent though. These could lose their appeal and become kitsch very quickly if that becomes the case.
***Honorable mention to the Don Zimmer bobblehead from the New Hampshire Fisher Cats today. That is a real nice looking piece!

” What do Star Wars, assassinations, and boobs all have in common? “
Best Item of the Day
Colorado Rockies – Cargo Fett Star Wars Bobblehead
Hagerstown Suns (Nationals A) – George Townsend Historical Figure Bobblehead
Charleston RiverDogs (Yankees A) – Bobble-Boob Breast Cancer Awareness Bobblehead
We picked a trio of bobbleheads (out of what seems like a million being given out today!) as the cream of the crop in the SGA world today. First up, Cargo Fett! We have been saying for a while that if teams don’t start getting creative with their Star Wars bobblehead designs, the fad is going to die real quick. Enough with the Jedi’s and let’s start using one of the other 1,000 characters to make these giveaways fun moving forward. Well, the Rockies absolutely killed it with Cargo Fett. Cargo is on an insane tear this season and in this bobble concept he sports full Jango Fett armor in all its glory. Great SGA right here!

Next is the Hagerstown Suns George Townsend Historical Bobblehead. If you don’t know the reference here, Townsend is famous and known to be the youngest Civil War reporter during the conflict. Additionally, he is well known for his coverage of the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. This year is the 150th anniversary of the assassination. As such, the Suns, who annually put out a historical figure bobblehead (awesome stuff, always) went with Townsend this year. Here is a link giving you a bit more info.
Last but not least on the top SGAs of the Day list is the Charleston RiverDogs Bobble-Boob. A lot of teams have been beefing up their cancer awareness and outreach through promotional days this season. We already saw a Prostate Awareness Bobble-Finger…so it just makes sense someone would do a Bobble-Boob, doesn’t it??? While we don’t have a picture yet for this one, stay tuned!

The only other MiLB team that comes close (and its not that close, but still 2nd best overall in the MiLB) is the Brooklyn Cyclones.

So the Phillies season has been precisely as horrible as anyone could have expected. Although they did have a nice little run after the All-Star Break…but they’re right back to their pathetic ways. On a positive note, the Phillies and two of their MiLB affiliates (BlueClaws and Fightin’ Phils) are giving out great SGA items tonight. So phight your way to the ballparks in Reading and Lakewood to get yourself a nice Crab Bank or Ceramic Beer Stein!

” Big Mac Attack! “
Best Item of the Day
Oakland Athletics – Mark McGwire Bobblehead
We went with Big Mac for the SGA of the Day today. Of all the steroid era stars, Mark McGwire seems to have salvaged more respect than most. Arod might be in the midst of a crazy bounce back year…but people still hate him. Sammy Sosa has disappeared entirely from the game. But here is Big Mac. Just as guilty as the rest, but he’s back and coaching in Los Angeles.
After his playing career ended, McGwire demonstrated coaching ability, personally assisting players such as Matt Holliday, Bobby Crosby and Skip Schumaker before accepting an official role as hitting coach with a MLB team. On October 26, 2009, LaRussa, now manager of the Cardinals, confirmed that McGwire would become the club’s fifth hitting coach of his tenure with the Cardinals, replacing Hal McRae. McGwire received a standing ovation prior to the Cardinals home opener on April 12, 2010. In his three seasons as Cardinals hitting coach, they featured a prolific offense that led the National League in hitting and on-base percentage,and were second in runs. 
In early November, 2012, McGwire rejected a contract extension to return as Cardinals hitting coach for the 2013 season. Instead, he accepted an offer for the same position with the Los Angeles Dodgers in order to be closer to his wife and five children. (Wikipedia 2015)
So congrats to Big Mac for not only staying relevant, but becoming a respected part of the MLB community as well!

Best Item of the Day
Florence Freedom – Ickey Woods Bobble-Shuffle

It’s funny how a great commercial can resurrect a career, or spark a brand new one for past stars or celebrities. It isn’t quite to the extent that the Snickers commercial relaunched Betty White’s career; but Ickey Woods damn sure wasn’t getting near as much attention, or asked to appear at as many events as he is now before this great Geico commercial he starred in (and absolutely nailed by the way!)
A lot of team’s have booked Ickey for event nights across the MiLB and other independent baseball leagues like the Florence Freedom today, of the Frontier League. But we remember early on in the pre-baseball season part of last year that the Florence Freedom were the first to announce their Ickey tribute giveaway! So go get yours today…we’ve been waiting all season for this one!
