MLB & Dodgers Notes 8-13-08

Was at the game last night. Great win. It was Joe Beimel Bobblehead night. The game didn’t sell out. As a matter of fact, not one game that the Dodgers gave away a bobblehead this season sold out. I’m surprised. I remember in seasons past, these games would sell out. I like collecting these bobbleheads. They seem really cool. But I guess not everyone agrees. Check out these figures from last season and this year in which they gave away bobbleheads.
