Okay, so let me tell you about this whole “Adley Rutschman Bobblehead 2024” thing. It was a bit of a mission, but totally worth it.
It all started when I saw some chatter online about this bobblehead. Adley’s a stud, right? So I figured, gotta have it. First thing I did was hit up eBay. Nada. Prices were insane! Like, double or triple the original cost. Forget that.
Next up, I checked the usual sports memorabilia sites. Still overpriced, or sold out. That’s when I remembered hearing something about the team giving them away at a game. Bingo!
So, I checked the schedule, found the bobblehead giveaway game, and marked it on my calendar. Now, here’s where the real fun began. I knew this game was gonna be packed. I had to figure out how to snag one without getting trampled.
My strategy? Go early. Like, really early. I’m talking two hours before the gates even opened. I packed a chair, some snacks, and a book to kill time. I figured I wouldn’t be the only one crazy enough to show up that early, and I was right. There were already a few die-hards camped out.
We all chatted a bit, sharing baseball stories and bobblehead dreams. The atmosphere was actually pretty cool. Then, finally, the gates opened. It was a mad dash, but because I was so early, I got to the giveaway table with no problems. Score!
I got my Adley Rutschman bobblehead, still in its box, and immediately went back to my seat to inspect my prize. It was perfect! Great paint job, solid base, the whole nine yards.
The rest of the game was just icing on the cake. The team won, the crowd was hyped, and I had my bobblehead. A perfect day.
Here’s the breakdown of what I learned:
- Early bird gets the bobblehead. Seriously, get there way before the gates open.
- Don’t pay scalper prices. Be patient and find a giveaway game.
- Bring snacks and something to do while you wait. It’s a long haul.
- Enjoy the game! You’re already there, might as well have some fun.
And that’s the story of how I got my Adley Rutschman bobblehead. It was a bit of a hassle, sure, but definitely worth it. Now it sits proudly on my shelf, a reminder of a great day at the ballpark.
