Dodgers Dominate MLB When it Comes to Bobbleheads

Yahoo Sports

The Los Angeles Dodgers have made headlines recently for their bobbleheads, especially the small Yoshi figurine that pays homage to star pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto . But according to an analysis by Connor Clark for TickPick , other fanbases aren’t as blessed with bobbleheads. In all of Major League Baseball, there are 179 bobblehead giveaway nights during the 2026 season.

A full 24 of them are at Dodger Stadium. The next-closest team is the Texas Rangers with 16 bobblehead giveaways. That’s more than 13% of all bobblehead nights for the Dodgers alone.

Alternatively, that means if you attend a Dodgers home game, there’s a nearly 30% chance you’ll get a bobblehead — if you get there early enough, that is.

The Boys in Blue lay claim to 21 of the 25 most expensive bobblehead giveaways, as detailed by Bob Nightengale of USA Today . Leading the pack, to no one’s surprise, was the Yoshi-Yamamoto mashup.
