"Resell price bout to be crazy" - Fans react to news that Dodgers will give away Shohei Ohtani bobbleheads featuring his dog, Decoy, on August 28
With the giant success of their first bobblehead, the Los Angeles Dodgers are planning another Shohei Ohtani Bobblehead Night. However, this one will feature his dog, Decoy.
The giveaway is scheduled for August 28, against the Baltimore Orioles. The announcement also comes the day the slugger celebrated his four-legged best friend's first birthday.
Tickets are already on sale for the matchup, and fans will want to lock those tickets in soon. Ohtani's last bobblehead brought back a pretty penny to those lucky enough to get one on May 16.
During the May 16 game against the Cincinnati Reds, the stadium was packed. There were over 50,000 fans who came, some camping out for days for Ohtani's bobblehead.
"Resell price bout to be crazy" - one fan posted.
"Already bought my tickets!" - another fan posted.
"Better get in line now then" - posted another.
Some fans have already bought their tickets for the game. They do not want to miss out on this exciting giveaway.
"People are gonna get robbed on the streets..." - said another fan.
"Looks nothing like him cool" - said another.
"Why’s he look like a 67 year old white man with too much plastic surgery" - said another.
While some are excited about the giveaway, others are left disappointed. They would have liked to see the bobblehead resemble Ohtani more closely.

When the Los Angeles Dodgers gave out Shohei Ohtani bobbleheads in May, it was extremely successful. People were camping out in order to receive one of the 40,000 given out that day.
Out of the 40,000 bobbleheads given out, 1,700 were a special version, depicting Ohtani in the road grey jersey. Those special bobbleheads were seen on eBay going for as much as $1,500. Even the more common bobbleheads were going for several hundred dollars.
This goes to show just how much Ohtani means to the game of baseball. Anything the superstar is a part of brings a ton of attention, and everybody wants a part of it.
if you are looking to snag a bobblehead in August, you may want to show up early and bring a sleeping bag with you. There will be a ton of fans making it their mission to return home with a piece of Ohtani.
