Orioles return 20,000 Brian Roberts bobbleheads
Orioles players have joked in the past that they didn’t look like their bobblehead dolls. But when a recent shipment of Brian Roberts bobbleheads arrived, team officials knew something was wrong.
Roberts, who is white, had dark skin. It wasn’t just a deep tan.
“It didn’t look like Brian Roberts. The coloring was bad,” Orioles spokesman Bill Stetka said. “I didn’t actually see it. I’ve heard various versions that it was very dark and bluish.”
What a waste. Why not do a sort of cross-promotion, like Brian Roberts Smurf Bobblehead Night?
