Phils and bobbles

May 18, 2010|by the Daily News

Bobblehead doll and bobble figurines are everywhere across the memorabilia landscape - athletes, actors, singers - but seem to have a more enduring connection to baseball.

The Phillies have been hosting bobble giveaways since 2001 at Veterans Stadium, and now at Citizens Bank Park.

 

Beginning in 2006, the Phillies switched from bobblehead dolls to bobble figurines and began giving them to all fans (with the exception of a Phanatic giveaway for kids 14 and under).
