A's show off bobblehead that could change the industry
On Monday, the Oakland Athletics provided a sneak preview of a Coco Crisp statuette to be distributed to fans attending their game against the Cardinals on June 29.
Though billed as a bobblehead, it actually appears to be more of a wobbletorso – a potentially groundbreaking advancement in bobble-technology undersold by the A's. And it is stunning:
The figurine, which commemorates Crisp's take on the so-called "Bernie Lean" favored by the A's during their unlikely postseason run in 2012, is believed to be the first major in-stadium giveaway inspired by the 1993 TriStar pictures comedy, Weekend At Bernie's 2.
Calls to Andrew McCarthy for comment were not made.
