The Arizona Diamondbacks are going to be giving out two bobbleheads on the same day. You’ll just have to wait and see which one you end up with.
The D-backs announced on Tuesday that 10,000 fans will get a Ketel Marte right-handed-hitting bobblehead on April 11, and another 10,000 fans will get a left-handed-hitting Marte bobblehead that same day.
“Which one are you hoping for?” the team’s tweet read.
The announcement was made on National Bobblehead Day.
You're in for a treat on #NationalBobbleheadDay. 😁
