2009 bobblehead giveaway ideas

[OnBaseMachine]

Are there any other big bobblehead collectors on there besides me? I've probably got 40+ Reds bobbleheads and am working on adding others. Just curious, who would like to see the Reds do a bobblehead of in 2009? I'm hoping for a Dominican pitcher theme of Mario Soto, Jose Rijo, Edinson Volquez, and Johnny Cueto. Maybe Francisco Cordero too.

FWIW, here's the list of bobbleheads the Reds have given away at the park:

2001
Barry Larkin
Danny Graves
Pete Harnisch

2002
Eric Davis
Chris Sabo
Adam Dunn
Johnny Bench

2003
Austin Kearns
Marty Brennaman & Joe Nuxhall
Gapper

2004
Joe Nuxhall
Joe Morgan
Sean Casey

2005
Ken Griffey Jr.
Tony Perez
Wily Mo Peña

2006
Dave Concepcion
Barry Larkin
Felipe Lopez

2007
Aaron Harang
Bronson Arroyo
Frank Robinson
Thom & Marty Brennaman

2008

My guess is a future star theme.

Cueto
Votto
Bruce

I'd add Volquez to that.

There are quite a few players from the past who have yet to have a bobblehead: Paul O'Neill, Mario Soto, Jose Rijo, George Foster, Cesar Geronimo, Ken Griffey Sr., Vada Pinson, Ted Kluszewski, among many others.

Alonso, of course.

Jose Rijo needs to have a bobblehead night.

Maybe have him holding a Supersoaker and smoking a cigar. That would rule.

Put JAVY on a bobblehead and I will be there!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know they will have at least a Votto bobble head and a Bruce bobble head. Volquez also seems likely.

No a multi-position Javy. 4 bobbleheads in one. A 3b, C, 1B, and PH. Wonder what that thing would sell on ebay for.

Unfortunately we'd never get the opportunity to buy tickets since the ladies would snap them all up the minute they went on sale. You think Opening Day tickets go fast?

The Reds should have a Legends of the Past bobblehead series:

Juan Castro
Eric Milton
Corey Patterson
Paul Bako

The rush on the gates for those high value collectibles would be unfathomable. Grandmas would be trampled. Children would be crying and trembling in fear. The National Guard would have to be summoned to suppress the crazed masses.

I want to see a Mr. Potato Head-themed Ryan Freel with several detachable parts or a Javy Valentin Mustache bobblehead with no Javy Valentin.

BLASPHEMER! You actually think someone would sell such a cherished heirloom?

How about a Jeff Brantley "He is not clutch!" bobblehead?

Some people would sell their own children on eBay if they could. Actually, I heard that at least one person has tried. I'm not trying to say a child could be as worthy as Valentin, but I think it's a good indicator of a human's nature to attempt to turn anything into a profit.
