Hello all! It is that time of year again! No, no, I am not talking about eating turkey, though I suppose it is also that time of year. I am talking about the time of year when the Cardinals unveil some days from their promotional schedule for the upcoming season. For those of you familiar with my work, you may remember how passionate I am about these works of art. You might remember my critically acclaimed pieces such as The Cardinals have another great giveaway and I NEED it - A Hunt and Peck, I need the Carlos Martínez bobblehead - A Hunt and Peck , Give me this Carlos Martínez and Matt Carpenter bobblehead - A Hunt and Peck, and Let Yadier Molina meeting his life-sized bobblehead fuel your soul - A Hunt and Peck, among other things.
Well, you can only imagine my reaction when I learned that one of the Cardinals promo items was a Carlos Martínez Mystery Hair Bobblehead. You might recall the starting pitcher’s hair was the source of much consternation among some Cardinals fans. The Cardinals have chosen to have a laugh at that in the BEST WAY POSSIBLE: immortalize it in bobblehead form.
We snagged a sneak peek at Fredbird's notebook during the 2018 #CardsPromo items meeting! Stay tuned as we'll be releasing our 2018 promotional schedule at the end of the month. pic.twitter.com/7YfQpymRFQ
