Dodgerbobble In Fan Appreciation Weekend Commercial

Back on August 3, I was part of a commercial shoot at Dodger Stadium. I won a Twitter Tuesday contest held by @dodgertownusa, and the prize was to be part of the shoot.

While shooting, we used different promotional items, so it was pretty obvious it would be for different commercials. On August 20, I posted the second commercial I was in. Since then, I've been in two others. This is the fourth and final commercial I saw myself in. It was for Fan Appreciation Weekend at Dodger Stadium. The same shot of me and my wife were used in the last three commercials.

I saw this commercial so many times during the last week of Dodger baseball. It was pretty exciting seeing myself on tv.

Bobblehead News

Some bobblehead news and notes on a quiet Monday night:

Reminder, the Dodgers will only hold TWO more Twitter Tuesday contests this season. They've been giving away Matt Kemp Gold Glove bobbleheads and Andre Ethier Silver Slugger bobbleheads all season long. Maybe they will offer those up as prizes these next two weeks. We'll have to wait and see.

Greg over at Plaschke Thy Sweater Is Argyle was one of the lucky Twitter Tuesday winners this season. You can read about his Matt Kemp Gold Glove bobblehead here.

Al Yellon, managing editor at SB Nation Chicago, shows us some of the more unusual, interesting and offbeat bobbleheads given away over the years, including a Dottie Key Rockford Peaches bobblehead, Ryan Theriot's fisherman bobblehead and my favorite, the Player To Be Named Later bobblehead.

A perfect tribute to baseball transactions everywhere, "PTBNL" has as generic a face as you could possibly imagine, although this bobblehead technically isn't a "Player TO BE Named Later; he's actually "Player WHO IS Named Later."

After 41 years as the Chicago White Sox organist, Nancy Faust will retire at season's end. This past Saturday, she was honored with a bobblehead, which was given to the first 10,000 White Sox fans in attendance. As a Dodger fan, I'd love to see long-time Dodgers organist Nancy Bea Hefley honored with a bobblehead one day.

And in non-sports related bobblehead news, a 14 year-old Brooklyn boy has created the worlds largest bobblehead. Standing 16 feet tall, the bobblehead, which started out as a Jerry Seinfeld look-alike but has since taken a more general male form, took more than a year to build out of PVC piping, chicken wire, fabric papier-maché and springs.

This is what happens when you're really, really bored.

I'm On TV!

On August 3, I was one of 20 Dodger fans who got to shoot a commercial at Dodger Stadium. I had the opportunity to do this after winning a Twitter Tuesday contest held by @DodgertownUSA.  I was able to bring someone with me, so I took my wife. We had so much fun making the commercial. They had us do different things like the wave and cheering. They also gave us different Dodger promos to use like bobbleheads and cooler bags, so we figured we might be in multiple commercials. We were right. I've already seen myself in a two Dodger commercials.

The first commercial I was in was for the All-New Coke Family Four Pack that included four bobbleheads. That one is still playing. The second one I'm in details what's taking place at Dodger Stadium from August 20-22. Check it out:



It was pretty exciting seeing myself in a Dodger commercial. I'd love to do something like this again someday.
