Bobble of the Day “George Brett”

Bobble of the Day

Player: George Brett

Team: Kansas City Royals

Year: 2014

Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles 

So the Royals had a few years with a run of their “Bobble of the Month” series which ended abruptly like most MLB teams. The last year they ran the program, they decided to highlight George Brett in many of them and it’s a damn good reason they did. 

This beauty highlights George Brett in the World Series Game 7 in which the Royals beat the Cardinals 11-0. George went 4-5 with 2 runs scored as the Royals clobbered the Cards. 

The base is in the shape of the Royals logo and has the game score from the actual game. I love the gold trim around the bottom perimeter of the base as it blends in perfectly with the royal blue color. Mr. Brett is in a winning pose after beating the Cardinals to win the World Series title. His arms are up and he’s holding his ball cap in his right hand. 

 

 

Sniper Rating: The uniform is spot on and the stir ups feature and old school look which makes this bobble flashy. His facial features are just “okay” as i think FOCO made George Brett look 10 years younger but who’s to complain. This limited edition bobble is roughly 10 inches in height and is quite heavy for the bookshelf. 

A historical accomplishment with the best player on the team going 4-5 in Game 7, this bobblehead deserves nothing less than a 9.5. Well done FOCO. 

Patriots Day In Boston

by | Apr 17, 2017 | Sniper Rants

One of the most important games of the Red Sox season is always the third Monday in April. It’s better known throughout Massachusetts as Patriots’ Day.

After the Boston Marathon bombings on Patriots’ Day in 2013, the game holds even more significance throughout New England.

The Rays and Red Sox square off at 11:05 a.m. ET in what marks the 50th consecutive season the Red Sox have hosted the Patriots’ Day game.

This will and always will be the only MLB game starting at 11:05 in the Majors. This is more important than just a baseball game. This marks the events of the Boston Marathon Bombing and this game is for not only the city of Boston, but the entire country itself. Make sure you tune in as the pre-game activities will make you feel better as an American. 

This day is about America and one must feel proud living in this country every day considering the current events in Ohio which is a tragedy. God bless America!

If this doesn’t create a tear drop the you better check your blood pressure. 

 

 

 

 

Motivational Monday

Overthinking kills your happiness. 

Overthinking does more damage to you mentally than it does to help you. Instead of worrying what others might say, or if you may get made fun of, JUST DO IT. Who gives two flying shits what others think. Is there a chance you may fail? Of course! But it’s better than the person that hasn’t even tried before. 

Bobble of the Day “Chipper saves Freddie”

by | Apr 13, 2017 | Bobble of the Day

Bobble of the Day

Players: Chipper Jones/Freddie Freeman

Team: Atlanta Braves

Year: 2016

Manufacturer: Unknown 

So we all know the story how Freddie Freeman got stuck in an unexpected snowstorm and was stranded for over 5 hours. He posted on Twitter how he was stuck and his former teammate Chipper Jones came to the rescue with his ATV to save Freddie. 

Very unique story but this bobblehead says it all. The Braves obviously caught wind of this and decided to give out a bobblehead depicting the two former Braves on an ATV. Very creative idea right?

First off, Chipper is all decked out in his camouflage attire to go along with his “Army” colored ATV which is camouflage as well. Freddie is straight pimping on back holding tight and extremely thankful his buddy came to rescue him. 

 

 

 

Sniper: The facial features look pretty solid and the base is a standard gray color with white raised letters that read, “Chipper Rescues Freddie”. I personally don’t own a bobblehead that depicts an ATV so this one is front and center in my Curio Cabinet. Two good ball players and even a better story. Get your hands on this SGA as this is one of the most creative bobbles you’ll ever see. Chipper to the rescue to save Freddie scores a sure fire 9.0. 

Motivational Thursday

People usually don’t notice the things you do for them until you stop doing those things. 

I preach all the time that in order to be successful, you need to provide value and to help others. Many times, those people forget that you do all those nice things for them and after a while they “expect” it. As soon as you pull back then you receive an email or text saying, “What the fuck?” Be careful of other’s who try and take advantage of you and never really realize the value you provide to them.
