The Jaime Jarrin Bobblehead

Pic via wepurgeubuy Ebay page
Like a lot of Dodger fans, I was surprised the team didn't honor Hall of Fame broadcaster Jaime Jarrin with a bobblehead for the 50th anniversary of Dodger Stadium. Jarrin has been a huge part of the team's history and seriously deserves a bobble, just like Vin Scully. 


Well, they may not be giving one away at Dodger Stadium in 2012, but there is a Jarrin bobblehead out there. Earlier this week, fellow bobble collector Gabriel made me aware of one on Ebay. When I first saw it, I was pretty excited and decided I was going to bid on it.  I placed seven bids on it myself, when it finally got out of my price range. The bobblehead sold for almost $150. Some lucky Dodger bobble collector out there is now the proud owner of what could be the only Jaime Jarrin bobblehead. Plus, it's autographed!


I don't know much about the bobblehead except what was in the description. It was made for Los Defensores, an LA-based law firm that uses Jarrin in their commercials. It looks like it may be made by PSquared, the company that makes the Dodgers' bobbleheads, but I could be wrong. If anyone has any information on this, please email me or comment below.

    Maybe a Jarrin Bobblehead would be a better choice than another Dodger Dog. You can count me in if you change direction! I'd even love to help out!

    They really should have considered adding this piece to the SGA for the 50th Anniversary this year. The Dodgers do have the most SGA bobbleheads compared to any other team in baseball. Why not add another one.

    This definitely isn't the only one, I have this bobble head next to actual Dodger Stadium ones, it too is signed by Jaime Jarrin. I wonder how many there are.
