Here it is. All of the Padres bobbleheads, that I own, in one single post.
57 65 different Padres, Beavers, Quakes, Storm, Wizards, Stars, managers, announcers, mascots, dreamboats, skaters and sleepy voiced ex-owners. I’ve written in depth about many of these already, so if you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments below and I’ll fill you in on them.
Some Additional Notes:
-The Tony Gwynn set of 5 was not a Padres affiliated giveaway and was reportedly a set that Alicia Gwynn teamed up with another company on. I’m not sure of the year, or if they were given away or sold, but I believe it was in 2001 or 2002.
-I found out that the set that features Trevor Hoffman, Ryan Klesko, Mark Kotsay and Phil Nevin was indeed given away at a game on August 4th, 2002, but was for kids only. You could also go to Carl’s Jr. every Saturday for 5 consecutive weeks and purchase a combo meal to buy a different bobblehead for $4.99 though, which is what I did. My cholesterol levels have never been the same.
-The Jerry Coleman bobblehead was a San Diego National Bank item from 2001 and
I am uncertain if it was a giveaway or sold there it was given away to “special friends of the bank” only.
-With that said, arguably the two biggest icons in Padres history, Gwynn and Coleman, have still never had a Padres bobblehead giveaway.
-A HUGE thank you to the Fort Wayne TinCaps for providing the Rymer Liriano, Mat Latos & Matt Wisler bobbleheads to the worlds biggest Padres bobblehead collection.
If you have any bobbleheads that aren’t listed here, that you’d like to contribute to
my sickness the cause, then shoot me an e-mail.
