The Annual Bobble List: 2023

Its that time again – below is my list of all of the bobbleheads to be given out at MLB ballparks through the rest of the season. Also included are select Minor League Baseball teams. This year, it seems that more and more giveaways require a special ticket, so be sure to double check the teams’ websites ahead of time for all instructions. As I have in the past, I’ll repost the list for each month starting in July. Happy collecting!

Monday Baseball Motivation

Brandon Nimmo is my new favorite Met – this totally motivated me last week:

“Don’t let anybody fool you: The Washington Nationals are not a bad team,” Brandon Nimmo told reporters tonight. They certainly haven’t been a bad team over the last 5+ weeks, and they definitely haven’t been when they play the Mets. https://t.co/Pj2BTrbQaw
