2008 Brewers Bobbles!

[brewcrew00]

My favorite thing I have gotten at a game is my yellow with blue striped old school seat coushin, which I believe was sponsored by Sentry? I wish they did more of the non-traditional give aways as well.

If the Brewers would say that they have decided to not have SGA on bobbleheads, there would be complaints. If the Brewers have bobblehead giveaways totaling 22 or more, there would be complaints that there are too many.

I don't think anyone is upset that they get free bobbleheads. You gave 2 extreme positions. Many on this board like to collect all of them. While I don't worry about getting a blue and white bobblehead for each one, it still takes a financial effort to collect all 13 retro bobbles and then 5 regular bobbleheads. With the other problem being that eventually they are going to run out of bobbleheads to do or we are going to have a Brian Shouse bobblehead night. Id rather have a couple every year and then they give out other free stuff like what they used to give out at County Stadium (umbrellas, bats, gloves, seat cushions, etc). I never complain though when i go through the turnstiles and get something free though...

For someone who has just gotten back into financial shape to start attending games and being able to pick the games I go to, I look forward to bobble nights (though I could have done without the 2 Rickie Weeks bobbles that we got on the last day, but I digress). I would like to see some diversity in the giveaways though. The seat cushions were great! Batting helmet nights were always a fan favorite, back in the day. Mini-bats, umbrellas, etc would be a nice way to remember "the good old days" also.

for those older fans, didn't the brewers have a baseball night once, and on a bad call everyone threw them on the field?

 

i thought I heard this from somewhere.

[jlau20]

I think on an Opening Day in the mid 90's, 1996 if I remember right, they gave out baseballs and a majority of them ended up on the field. I still have mine.

"It was flying projectile day in Milwaukee today" - Espn

 

I'm proud to say I still have my ball from that day. Phil Garner came out with microphone in hand and pleaded with fans to stop. The Umps warned that the game would be halted and the Brewers would be credited with a loss. If I remember correctly it all started when Jeromy Burnitz playfully tossed a ball to someone in the stands. Then someone tossed a ball back to Burnitz. He was cool with it and tossed it back. A few innings later someone else tossed a ball at him. Then another. And another. It just snowballed after that. I couldn't believe how many people tossed their ball on the field.

 

Then again: opening day = lots of idiots in the crowd. I was at opening day in 2000 when WTMJ reported on the scoreboard that Mark Chmura had been arrested for sexual assault of a teen age girl and the place erupted in applause. Stay classy Milwaukee.

[hawing]

I'm down to Charlie Moore myself. And I'm not seeking an alternate version or anything...

 

(now that we're taking this thread off course)

[zachlaka]

I need 10 still from this year 9 if my White Hall didn't crack at the knees http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

 

I also need a bunch from other years as well stupid me for starting so late in this bobble craze.

My plan is to try and get most of them before the first bobble head day of the season. Hoping most people aren't searching ebay during the off season Like I will be.

 

Maybe if I wasn't as shy as I am I would need only one like BHF http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[cweber39]

zachlaka-

 

what do you need from this year? Maybe I can help out?

[MadtownTim]

zacklaka...I've got a sliding Rickie Weeks from September 30 that I'd be willing to part with cheap. It's the standard white uniform version and we've got two. Let me know.

[zachlaka]

cwber39 my list is as follows. MadtownTim thanks but I already have 2 extra white and a extra retro Weeks I having been trying to trade away for a month. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[zachlaka]

I will send you an email shortly Matt thanks.

 

As it turns out I gave my blue Caldwell to your son by accident I was going to send two pinstripes but I sent 1 pinstripe and my blue lolz.

 

Glad I made your son happy though http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[mattsr0625]

[KCBrewerfan34]

Zachlaka,

 

 

Email me your #, I have all the blues as well as that Corey Hart, let's make a deal.

[zachlaka]

It's not that bad for me unless it's a minor league bobble.

[billyhallfan]

which one?

 

The blue money

 

zachlaka--the brewsteer, beloit hall, and beloit vaghn--Hart Of Milwaukee has all those, and I can't speak for him, but I know that he isn't a huge collector of bobbles, and might be willing to trade or sell, I'll tell him to contact you, or just pm him.

[zachlaka]

Thanks For your Help BHF I Appreciate it I will send Hart a message. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Bikeage77]

So I just need the blue cooper, gantner, weeks, fielder, hall retro, and yount pinstripes. I got 6 of them in the last week off ebay as future christmas gifts from my dad. I was fortunate to get a blue molitor for 30 including shipping.

 

I like the list of bobbles, but after this year, I got to be pretty burned out on getting them all. I'm still deciding if I ever want to go after the mini's or just forget about it. I have like 7 of them, any opinions? Do I need a Wes Helms bobblehead?
