The San Diego Padres are playing well of late, having won three of their last four games, including the last two of the just concluded Kansas City Royals series at Petco Park. The Padres will look to keep it going when they kick off a three-game series against the visiting Washington Nationals this Monday evening.
Making the night more exciting for Padres fans are the team's fantastic Fernando Tatis Jr. bobblehead giveaways, as mentioned as well by MLB on social media.
“The Padres are giving away this incredible Fernando Tatis Jr. bat flip bobblehead … that spins 🔥,” MLB shared in a post on X (formerly Twitter) before the game.
The bobblehead figure features a bat that rotates, designed to imitate Tatis' batflips.
Here's more about the bobblehead from MLB's website: “Your head will spin if you don’t get your hands on this electrifying bobblehead, limited to the first 40,000 fans in attendance. The Tatis Jr. Bat Flip Bobblehead, presented by SERVPRO, features Nando and a 360-degree rotating bat flip!”
Most fans seem to love the bobblehead based on the reactions to MLB's post.
“That is awesome!” shared an X user.
“I want one or a dozen,” chimed in a commenter, who is 100 percent sold on the bobblehead's look and feature.
