I'm a sucker for bobbleheads. I love 'em! I'll drive hours out of my way if I know a team is giving away a bobblehead. So it was good news in 2011 when the Braves gave us three bobblehead nights, and they have answered the call once again in 2012, with three more bobblehead nights.
Oh yes! For real, the Sid Slides Bobblehead is going to be awesome, I just know it. I have asked the Braves for a picture of this soon-to-be classic bobblehead, and I'll post it if and when they send it along. They did a Chipper bobblehead last year too, so I'm surprised they didn't replace him with a McCann bobble this year.
Toys!
Other than that there are some "Civil" promotions happening this year at the Ted. The band The Civil Wars will perform pregame on opening night, and sing the National Anthem. And the Civil Rights game is once again in Atlanta this year, on the weekend of August 17th though the 19th. There's a Lynyrd Skynrd postgame concert on September 1st, and a few other of the usual promotions.

Too bad the Sid Slides bobblehead night couldn’t be a game against the Pirates

hahaha
Thats exactly what i was thinking. The Pirates have a four game series in Atlanta in late April. Would have been perfect…..but The Braves are too classy for that.

How about a Barry Bonds bobblehead flipping off Andy Van Slyke just before Cabrera’s hit. ha ha ha
ChillyMutt - February 21, 2012
lol I was thinking the same. I guess that would be a little harsh although it’s not like any of the current players or coaches on the Bucs were there in ’92.

They did have a Chipper bobblehead last year didn’t they?

Corrected … I misremembered.

Curious to how they'll do a Bream one
It’ll be really immobile to have a bobblehead laying down.

Bobble arms

i can kinda see it in the beginning of the slide, turned slightly sideways just a bit off the "ground".

I’ll have to wait for the Kimbrel figures to hit eBay, I suppose.

Me too… I won’t be back in Atlanta til June 18 at the earliest. I will probably be able to get some people to get down to the Ted for the Bream one, but I don’t know if I can trust them to get there 2 hours before the game.

Chipper's Bobblehead from 2011
ChillyMutt - February 21, 2012
Haha
Classic. The pink cast is a nice touch too. Now people are going to critique the accuracy of this bobblehead…

ROFLMAO. Awesome.

The Civil Wars
If I may just give me wholly insignificant opinion, the Civil Wars are an incredible band, and makes me even more despondent to not be in Atlanta, taking in the home opener. They are well worth finding on Spotify, creating a Pandora station, or if you’re retro like that, buying their CD.
Anyone attending the entirety of opening day and their concert beforehand, feel free to pour a sip out for this internet stranger who can’t be there and is incredibly jealous of your attendance.

Was just going to leave this comment.
I already wished I was going to be there for the home opener, but even more so now that the Civil Wars will be there too.

I would like a Kent Hrbek Goes Fishing And Hooks His Own Fat Ear bobble.
We kinda owe them.
Sam Jethroe - February 22, 2012
We need a Bobby walking out to argue with the umpire bobblehead. The bobble would actually make sense for that.
