Roy Halladay Bobblehead Sold By MLB Doesn’t Look Or Throw Like Roy Halladay

This Roy Halladay bobblehead being sold by Major League Baseball is pretty bad, even by bobble head standards. Can you count the things that are wrong with this bobble head? Phillies blog Zoo With Roy did and they were not impressed. I’ll ignore the face because, well, when does a bobble head’s face look like the actual person? Let’s instead focus on the throwing form of the Bobble Halladay.

With his left leg in the air, he should be throwing with his right hand, except that’s the hand that has the glove. And Roy Halladay isn’t left handed… I suppose he could just be making the most awkward pick-off attempt in baseball history. The only question is, will MLB stop selling this bobble head before or after they make this unorthodox pick-off play illegal?

It’s a great move. Freeze the runner with your smile, then pick off his heart.

Maybe he’s planning to bounce it off the ground right before the plate.

Is this Yardwork?

YARDWORK!!!!

Braves lost a game on a walk-off homer last night, while their best reliever (Kimbrel) sat in the bullpen along with their second-best available reliever (Medlen), and probably their third, too (Livan). Of course, it wasn’t a save situation, so contractually Fredi couldn’t use Kimbrel. Why he didn’t go with Medlen, though, is beyond me.

Also, that Reds stadium is freaking ridiculous. Fly ball pitchers don’t stand a chance there.

That bobblehead looks like the guy that played Jimmy McNulty, but with a beard.

The ophthalmology part of Stuart Scott’s bobble head is pretty life-like.

There is no way that bobble head can throw that ball without falling down.

Pretty much every bobblehead I’ve ever owned looks nothing like the guy it’s supposed to be. The mouthguard they put in the Patrick Kane one was a nice touch. Maybe next year’s version will be wearing a bright green shirt with his name on the back.

this bobble-head abortion happened because MLB doesn’t embed videos.

and because fat girls put out w/o rubbers.

Yep, the Not-so-great American Ballpark is a joke. Basically is plays like Wrigley with the wind blowing out all the time.

I was always partial to this bobblehead of Hrbek pulling Gant off 1st base.

I’m with Spence, the Sid Bream bobblehead is a complete masterpiece.

when does a bobble head’s face look like the actual person?

my GF got one made of me from some website and they did a pretty decent job. it’s just kind of weird having a bobblehead of yourself sitting around.

don’t have one on me. It’s at home on the Mantle next to my Lou Holtz doll and Whitey Herzog and Tony LaRussa bobbleheads. I’ll snap a picture of it sometime though. it looks pretty good, all things considered.
