Dodgers Star had Yamamoto Sign Yoshi Bobblehead
The Yoshi bobblehead giveaway at Dodger Stadium Tuesday night was a huge success, drawing fans of both Nintendo and the Boys in Blue. Those fans reportedly included some of the Dodgers players themselves, according to Sonja Chen of MLB. com , who reported that players had their own “Yoshi,” pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, sign the bobbleheads.

Alongside Yoshi (the pitcher) and Yoshi (the video game and movie character), the actor who plays Yoshi in the new film The Super Mario Galaxy Movie , Donald Glover, threw out the first pitch. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Los Angeles Dodgers (@dodgers) Glover also participated in a fun video with Yamamoto and a stuffed mascot Yoshi in which the three “Yoshis” pointed at each other in a manner reminiscent of the Spider-Man meme. Adding another layer to the video is Glover’s history as an actor, as fans pushed for him to play Spider-Man earlier in his career .
