Bobble of the Day “Marla Hooch”

Bobble of the Day

Player: Marla Hooch

Team: Akron Rubberducks 

Year: 2017

Manufacturer: Destroyer Promotions

If you haven’t seen the movie “A League of their Own” then you’re an asshole. It’s classic baseball movie right up there with The Sandlot, Major League and Field of Dreams. When World War II threatens to shut down Major League baseball, an all-girls baseball team saves the day and brings many people hope. The team is good and Marla Hooch is the center of attention.

Not known for her good looks, Marla proves she can hit the shit out of the baseball and proves everyone wrong. I’m pumped the Rubberducks decided to honor her, as she deserves it. 

First thing is the vintage World War uni look. The gals wore skirts as uni’s and they look sharp as hell with the high red socks. If you’ve seen the movie you can see everyone in the stands wearing clothes from the 50’s. Marla’s facial features look exactly like her and her stance is replicated as it is in the movie. The Rubberducks nailed this one for sure. 

 

 

Sniper Rating: What stands out the most, is the saying on the front of the base. “What a Hitter”. This phrase says it all. If you’re looking for a legit collector’s item, make sure you score this asap. I can only see these going up in value as it was a great movie and even better theme. Marla Hooch scores a 9.0. If the box wasn’t a standard white, I’d give it a stand up 10. It’s that good.

You’re not missing out on anything when you’re getting your shit together.

Oh, so you miss out a few Friday happy hours when Charlene is talking about her recent divorce. Who gives a shit. Oh, so you miss out on 3 straight weeks of Thursday night softball. You’ll find out the next day that Harold went 3-4 with 5 ribbies. Who gives a shit. Oh, so you miss the last 4 episodes of Game of Thrones. DRV that shit! 

Get your shit together and save that nonsense social life for when you’re secure and happy! Softball will always be there. Christ, you can play softball until your 50 if you’re in the right shape. Focus on getting your shit together and forgo the petty bullshit. 

Bobble of the Day “Fred Lynn” USC Trojans

Bobble of the Day

Player: Fred Lynn

Team: USC Trojans

Year: 2017

Manufacturer: Success Promotions

I love any USC Trojan bobbleheads. I love them! I love the colors, the logo and the school. It doesn’t matter who the player is, I’ll still find a way to score it for the collection.

So this was obviously a must have for me as Freddy Lynn played for my Red Sox for quite some years. Initially, I love the batting stance follow through as Freddy looks like he’s going yard. The uniform is old school USC with the high stir ups and the red and yellow outline around the entire uniform. 

 

 

Sniper Rating: This is a well made, sturdy bobble. Nothing is loose on it, it’s got a good feel and the base resembles home plate with his name in raised letters. Absolute must have for a USC fan. Freddy Lynn and his USC bobble scores an 8.0.
