Bobble of the Day

Player: Joc Pederson

Team: Los Angeles Dodgers 

Year: 2017

Manufacturer: Unknown

Everybody loves Joc including me but sometimes I feel he needs to settle down a bit. I know the youthful thing is to always jump up and down and go crazy when your teammate scores a big run. There’s something about him though. He’s no Seager or even Turner, but think he thinks he’s better than he actually is. I really do like him but the attention seeking behavior gets to me on occasion.

On to the bobble now. This one is very sharp looking in terms of his follow through swing. Looks like he just hit a rope to left center field. I like how the manufacturer added his ankle guard as it gives it a real “authentic” look. The base is standard with his name in white against the Dodger blue background. The details within the uniform are classic Dodgers logo and lettering. 

Sniper Rating: My only gripe about this bobble is the size of his head. It’s about a half an inch to wide. The manufacturer made the helmet a bit to big and it looks silly to say the least. The box has a nice “see through” look so you Dodger fans can see if its broken when it gets handed to you at the gate. Overall, good bobblehead but not great. Joc scores a 7.0

Bobble of the Day

Player: Pete Rose

Team: Cincinnati Reds

Year: 2017

Manufacturer: Alexander Global Production

Listen, there’s a million Pete Rose bobbleheads out there and I think every single one should belong in your collection. His time after baseball is so controversial, it just makes him more of an attractive player to collect as far as bobbleheads go. This one that the Reds gave out is nothing short of great. Rose is commemorated by being inducted into the Reds Hall of Fame. 

Mr. Rose is in his signature hitting stance which led him to over 4,000 collective hits. The base has his name in raised white letters against a red backdrop. On top of the base is a bronze colored finish and has “Reds Hall of Fame” inscribed in raised letters which adds a piss load of character. The old school Reds uni is flaunted by Pete in every way possible and I’m digging the facial features as it looks just like the Hit King.

Sniper Rating: The box is flooded with bright colors, has the glossy finish and has a few paragraphs written about his career. A well deserved accomplishment as you know I feel he belongs in Cooperstown. I personally own just about every Rose bobblehead and this one just adds to it. The Hit King and his Reds HOF bobble scores a 8.0.
