Dodgers Host Second Ohtani Bobblehead Night

The Los Angeles Dodgers are hosting their second Shohei Ohtani bobblehead night of 2024, featuring the two-time MVP with his dog Decoy, attracting significant fan interest. Long lines formed hours before the game against the Baltimore Orioles, reflecting the high demand for the 40,000 bobbleheads available. Ohtani, now a Dodgers player after signing a 10-year, $700 million contract, has had a stellar season, leading the league with 41 home runs and 40 stolen bases, thus entering the exclusive 40/40 club. However, concerns about limited availability arose since the Dodgers sold over 53,000 tickets for the first bobblehead night, leading to speculation about fans potentially missing out despite high ticket prices. The Dodgers management acknowledged the difficulty in providing enough promotional items due to corporate budget constraints. Overall, the Ohtani bobblehead promotion has proven to be a major draw, highlighting the star's popularity in Los Angeles.
