2011 Stadium Giveaway Bobblehead Recap
I started collecting the stadium giveaway bobbleheads last season. I went to all six Dodger bobblehead nights and the Kendry Morales Angels bobblehead night. I have a total of 18 different bobbleheads in my collection.
The Dodgers went 3-3 in their 6 bobblehead nights. Hiroki Kuroda pitched on the first bobblehead night and defeated the Rockies. Clayton Kershaw pitched on three (Kuo; Ethier; Fernandomania) of those nights and went 2-0.
The Angels lost their game to the Oakland Athletics. Dan Haren gave up two home runs to David DeJesus.

Favorite: Clayton Kershaw
I'm being a little bias on this one because Kershaw is my favorite Dodger. The details on the Kershaw are spot on, especially with his beard and his green eyes. I also like that the bobblehead is his pitching motion. If it wasn't for Roy Halladay being in the NL, Kershaw would have a chance at winning the Cy Young this season.
Least Favorite: Hong-Chih Kuo
I didn't really like that they did his follow through when he strikes out a hitter. If you glance at the bobblehead, you would think he's a right-handed pitcher. The details are great on the bobblehead but so are most of the 2011 bobbleheads.
