Motivational Friday

1 Year = 365 Opportunities.

365 days is a ton of time to work on your goals. That’s only one year! Most people and their businesses start making progress and growth after 4-5 years! It takes time and YOU have a lot of time to accomplish what you want. No excuses. 365 days within one year is long enough for you to figure out what you want to do and how to achieve it. Don’t think of it as “one full year”. Think of it as a shit load of days to improve your self!

Bobble of the Day ” Ichiro Suzuki”

Bobble of the Day

Player: Ichiro Suzuki

Team: Seattle Mariners/Miami Marlins

Year: 2017

Manufacturer: BD&A

Apparently within the past few years, when a player plays for multiple teams and they come out with a tribute bobblehead, they put both jersey’s on the player. This duel Ichiro bobble has him in his Mariners and Marlins jersey which I think is a cool idea.

Given out a few weeks ago in Seattle, this one fetches quite the price tag on Ebay. I was fortunate to have a connection out in Seattle who gifted me this one. 

Ichiro in his Seattle uni is highlighted by recording 262 hits in 2004 which is a single season record. In his Marlins uni, Ichiro is highlighted by recording his 3,000th hit which is remarkable. The base is a sleek silver color with Ichiro’s letters (raised) in a darkish blue color. BD&A did a fantastic job creating this one with 2 different stances. Seattle Ichiro is slapping a hit to the left side of the infield and Marlins Ichiro is following through with a 2 run double that smacks the bottom base of the wall in centerfield. Both emblems depict his accomplishments and the colors align with the lettering of his name. 

 

 

Sniper Rating: This is a homer bobble and a must have but I do have a very strong complaint. It seems that this bobble was rushed dramatically as there’s glue spots everywhere and both heads don’t bobble as well as I assumed. I know we all have to embrace imperfections but the structure of this one could have been better. At first I thought this one I received in the mail was the only one that had some major imperfections, but scrolling through Ebay I noticed a lot of them had the same issues. A lot of sloppy glue over many necks and quite a few chips around the back of the base. BD&A rushed this one a bit but I’m willing to give them a pass because they typically produce well made products for us fans. At the end of the day, you have to include this in your collection and it receives a solid 8.0 rating.

Motivational Thursday

Without commitment you’ll never start. Without consistency you’ll never finish.

If you fail to commit yourself you will never get going. You must realize when you head out to start your goals, you have to be ALL fucking In! All in! If you have the stones in you to go all in, then while you are on your journey, you have to stay consistent. If you tend to take days off and not work late and not make deadlines then you will fail. Plain and simple. Commitment to start and consistency to finish. 

Bobble of the Day “Jim Abbott”

Bobble of the Day

Player: Jim Abbott

Team: Inland Empire 66ers  

Year: 2017

Manufacturer: Alexander Global Productions

What a sentimental bobblehead we have here. Unless you live under a rock, everyone should know who Jim Abbott is. Born without a right hand from birth, this dude made it all the way to the Majors and was one hell of a pitcher for many teams.

The 66ers out in Cali gave out this bobble last week who are an affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels. Everything about this bobble screams a winner. Everything is raised as far as letters. Everything! Abbott’s name, Angles and his number on the front and back of his jersey as well as the Halo’s logo on the hat. AGP did a bang up job with this one. The facial features are spot on and his hair is very detailed. What’s most highlighted on this bobble is Abbott’s glove resting on his right hand. The glove is perfectly placed like Abbott does when he transfers his glove to his left hand. 

 

 

 

Sniper Rating: This is a special bobblehead. It’s damn near impossible to make it to the Majors. It’s even more unthinkable to be a dominant pitcher nevertheless throw a no hitter with one fucking hand! This gamer of pitcher defies all odds and demonstrates that you can literally do anything in this world if you work hard. Jim Abbott is the perfect person to idolize when it comes to achieving your goals. This special edition bobble scores a 9.5.

P.S. The box is killer! High glossy coating with photos and in addition, the 66ers provided other giveaways they are doing throughout the season. Very smart marketing tactic.
