America’s pastime, baseball, had its world turned upside down in 2020, like many other areas in life. Perhaps nothing captures the sentimentality of daily life than bobbleheads, both a staple of gift giving and a peek into people and things idolized at a given time.
We’re going to try to aid in that today while looking at some of the best MLB bobblehead gifts for the baseball fan in your life (it could be you!).
Dr Anthony Fauci Washington Nationals First Pitch Bobblehead
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the leading immunologist in the United States and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has spent four decades at his post, but his national profile leapt into the spotlight during the proliferation of coronavirus.
Dr. Fauci kicked off the surreal 2020 MLB season with the first pitch for his Washington Nationals at the reigning World Series winner’s Opening Day game back on July 23. While Dr. Fauci may have missed slightly wide on his first pitch, the combination of the top immunologist and baseball makes for a very 2020 bobblehead, immortalized here as a gift.
Of course, just like everybody else, Dr. Fauci in bobblehead form dons a mask while in his pitching stance. This bobblehead could be a great buy if you value baseball and proper facial hygiene.

Derek Jeter New York Yankees Framed Showcase Bobblehead
The Captain. Derek Jeter poured his blood, sweat, and tears into the game of baseball for the New York Yankees. The 27-time champions added five more World Series trophies to their collection, and Jeter was a huge boost for the historic franchise.
The Yankees captain now has his own bobblehead, topped with his cool demeanor, easy smile, and smooth swing. Jeter’s legacy and myth-making only appear to be growing since retirement and his induction into Cooperstown at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. What better way to commemorate his forthcoming induction than buying a gift to remember The Captain for generations?
Pinstripe pride lasts forever, and Jeter can be a prized part of your shelf decoration with this priceless baseball bobblehead.

Clint Frazier New York Yankees Face Cover Bobblehead
Speaking of pinstripes, current Yankees outfield Clint Frazier has grown on New York fans due to his serious hitting prowess. Now the young slugger is memorialized in bobblehead form making great contact with the ball mid-swing.
“Bobblehead Frazier” also gets the mask treatment because the MLB in 2020 has seen players take the initiative and live up to being role models by showing off how even they can wear masks while hitting bombs over the fence for a living.
You even get a peek of Frazier’s distinctive ginger features with his eyebrows painted on orange on this entertaining bobblehead for what could be a future All-Star and long-standing Yankee player.

Andrew McCutchen Philadelphia Phillies Uncle Larry Bobblehead
Lastly, former NL MVP outfielder Andrew McCutchen has emerged as one of the most fun players in the game, one that sorely needs entertainment and high energy from its top players. McCutchen’s alter ego, “Uncle Larry,” gets the bobblehead treatment spawning from one broadcaster’s mistake at identifying the former Pittsburgh Pirates All-Star slugger.
In the last few years McCutchen has adopted his Uncle Larry persona through social media. The swagger is undeniable. Now MLB fans get to remember Uncle Larry in a bobblehead—chain and unbutton jersey shirt included!
The current Phillies outfielder gets to have fun in his bright red duds and cool red drink, what we could only surmise as Gatorade, in his bobblehead. Even that plastic smile is so bright, Uncle Larry needs to wear shades.
