Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

All Dbacks SGA bobbleheads

I finally managed to finish my collection (thanks to some dummy selling a Gonzo for 10 dollars on eBay). Not bragging of course, just thought Dbacks fans would like to check it out.

Back to front, left to right: Johnny Estrada (2006), Brandon Webb (2006), Richie Sexson (2004), Bob Brenly (2002), Randy Johnson (2001), Chad Tracy (2006), Steve Finley (2002), Curt Schilling (2002), Randy Johnson (2002 Cy Young version), Tony Womack (2001), Junior Spivey (2003), Matt Williams (2001), Craig Counsell (2003), Luis Gonzalez (2002 Home Run Derby Champ version), Luis Gonzalez (2001), Baxter (2003), Mark Grace (2001, player).

Star-divide

Back to front, left to right: Orlando Hudson (2007), Carlos Quentin (2007), Randy Johnson (2007), Micah Owings (2008), Chris Young (2008), Bob Melvin (2008), Eric Byrnes (2008), Dan Haren (2008), Justin Upton (2009), Stephen Drew (2009), Chris Snyder (2009), Mark Reynolds (2009), Augie Ojeda (2009), Mark Grace (2007, broadcaster), Brandon Webb (2007 Cy Young version), Conor Jackson (2007)

According to my research, these should be all of them (excluding the Johnson-Schilling double feature, but it was only available to season ticket holders, hence not a "true" SGA). If I happen to be missing any, please let me know.

Also, taking bets on who is going to be immortalized this year, assuming

Awesome collection

I love seeing things like this.

An early departure? What are the chances of that? If this was a movie, there wouldn't be an early departure.

Okay, I lied.

I have four. Broadcaster Mark Grace, purple/black RJ, Mark Reynolds, and Eric Byrnes. Mark and EB are broken though…tv fell on them.

Man.

That moment would have been even better if, in a fit of Byrnes-backing rage, she knocked the TV over and crushed an EB bobblehead.

Well, I offered her

the decapitated EB, but I think it made her cry. :(

That's good stuff.

I also notice a trend from the first group to the second: Somehow, Gonzo was the only guy who wasn’t stuck being named “Nextel” or “Be Tobacco Free” or something. Lucky him.

by Azreous on Jan 24, 2010 1:48 PM EST reply actions  

All the 2004 ones did too

That’s also when they started doing custom poses instead of cookie-cutter figures.

I’m jealous.

My favorites are the Snyder and J-Up.

I have the Justin Upton and Chris Snyder ones. I would have snapped the head off of the Suxson one, though.

Nice strikeout!

Snyder

didnt they make two different kinds of that catching bobblehead, different color of mask or something

It was

different color jerseys. Main white one and limited edition red one with an autograph. They actually did this in 2001, when there were limited edition purple jersey bobbleheads.

I feel pretty lucky, I managed to find the Johnson-Schilling co-MVP bobbleheads at last years fan fest.

Thanks for compliments everyone :)

Any bets on who is going to be immortalized this season? I figured Montero has got to be one, maybe one of the newcomers like LaRoche or Jackson. Also, they’ve never done a reliever (came close with Pena, but we know how that turned out), so Qualls could be one.

by dima1109 on Jan 25, 2010 2:27 PM EST reply actions  

Roberts?

He’s about the only one of the roster “locks” who hasn’t had one. Oh, and Parra, but time enough for that. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Jackson or Kennedy get one either. Among the relievers, got to think Zavada? I’ll have to chat to the D-backs ticket office and see if I can get any scoop on this year’s promos…

by Jim McLennan on Jan 25, 2010 4:27 PM EST up reply actions  

Zavada

seems like a no-brainer to me, given the way the fans have embraced The ’Stache. How many do they give out a year, 4?

An early departure? What are the chances of that? If this was a movie, there wouldn't be an early departure.

by soco on Jan 25, 2010 5:09 PM EST up reply actions  

Zavada...+1

I agree. I bet he’ll be one of the Bobbleheads for 2010 and if so, he will definitely be added to my collection. I also bet Miguel Montero will be one as well

by Rockkstarr12 on Jan 25, 2010 5:40 PM EST up reply actions  

There were ...

three in 06, six in 07, five in 08, and five in 09. I would guess if they are gonna do bobbleheads this year, and it’s hard to imagine they wouldn’t, it would be 4 or 5. They are running out of people to enshrine, since there have been almost no high-impact newcomers that have already established themselves (and I’m hoping they made the right conclusions from the Sexson, Quentin, and Estrada bobbleheads).

Zavada!! How could I forget?

I actually check dbacks.com almost every day hoping they’d put up the promotions and giveaways schedule.

Now that's a collection!

I have all from 2008 and 2009, having completed those two recently with obtaining my Micah Owings one from a friend but there are many I don’t have from previous years

Does anyone find it funny

how Augie won the fan choice bobblehead vote last year? By the end of the season, when they replaced Reynolds with the departed Pena, it was pretty amazing how they didn’t just make a Mark in the first place.

by dima1109 on Jan 25, 2010 6:35 PM EST reply actions  

Augie Augie Augie!!!

Just goes to show the fans love Augie…not that they don’t love Mark Reynolds too, but Augie got voted in for his love of and for the game and his attitude, not just popularity or good looks, as Mark Reynolds would get voted for in most cases. I am glad Augie got to be one of the bobbleheads, as he’s worked hard his whole career and finally a team recognized him and not just the popular guys for a change

by Rockkstarr12 on Jan 26, 2010 12:30 PM EST reply actions  

Yeah

I’m pretty much just a fan of Mark Reynolds because of his good looks.

Misconstrued...


I meant that that if it were a POPULARITY/GOOD LOOKS CONTEST all on its own, you know Mark would be #1…he’s easy on the female eyes…I know people like Mark for more than just those attributes. He DOES have talents. I’m just saying Augie deserved recognition for other reasons

"AUGIE AUGIE AUGIE...OY OY OY!"

by Rockkstarr12 on Jan 29, 2010 2:58 PM EST up reply actions  

And Mark deserves them, too

If you’re going to single out a player for getting attention because of his personality or looks, it seems foolish to pick the guy who was, in the thoughts of many, our MVP last season.

"It's a real burden being right so often."

by kishi on Jan 29, 2010 5:10 PM EST up reply actions  

I didn't say...

That Mark DIDN’T deserve to be on a bobblehead…in fact I completely agree that he DID…was just sayin’ there’s a lot of haters out there (and no I am NOT one of them) that think he was picked because of his looks and popularity. I agree completely he was a very good pick because of his MVP status and his contributions on the field. He’s an asset to our team!

I’m sorry Kishi. I did not mean to start any kind of argument here. My emotions are on the fray due to me losing my job today (I was laid off) so I am trying to keep myself in check. Please accept my apology…I am very sorry!

So sorry about the job, Rockkstarr. :(
Hope you find another one soon.

Thank you

Njjohn…I am optimistic that I will find one. “For every door that closes another door opens” and I very much believe that. Everything happens for a reason and I am sure even if it takes me some time that I will find a bigger and better opportunity knocking. I loved my job but I had a feeling our department would get downsized. Ever since we lost the Nissan/Infiniti account a month ago, our department has taken a BIG loss.
