Just when you think bobblehead giveaways at MLB stadiums couldn't get
any more ridiculous, the Kansas
City Royals are upping the ante a bit in
2013. This season, the Royals will be having three separate promotions
giving away bobbleheads of their racing condiments: ketchup, mustard,
and relish.
The ketchup bobblehead will be given out on May 25th against the
Angels, the mustard bobblehead will be given out on June 22nd against
the White Sox, and the relish bobblehead will be given out on July 20th
against the Tigers. It's worth noting that the Royals only have four
bobblehead promotions planned for the 2013 season, and three of them are
these condiment bobbleheads. The other one, which is the only one
featuring an actual baseball player, is a Billy Butler Silver Slugger
themed giveaway on May 4th against the White Sox.
So despite trading for James Shields and Wade Davis, despite going
all-in with a young core of players, the Royals promotional team will be
focusing on mid-game entertainment this year as opposed to the players
that the fans are paying their hard-earned money to see. Good job, good
effort.
