Fans to Vote on Bobblehead; Five Choices Available on 'Caps Website
The Fan Vote Bobblehead is between the following candidates: Whitecaps Owners Lew Chamberlin and Denny Baxter double bobblehead, Whitecaps mascots Crash and Franky double bobblehead, radio announcers Dave Skoczen and Dan Elve double bobblehead, a Bobble Thumb sporting the five Midwest League Championship rings and Whitecaps Flagman Jimmy.
"We started the idea of giving the fans a chance to pick their own promotion last year and it was huge success with the on-field host Bob Wells bobblehead," said Whitecaps Marketing Manager Mickey Graham. "We're looking forward to seeing what bobblehead the fans want this year."
Voting will also give fans a chance to win a free suite on the night of the giveaway. Fans who vote for the winning bobblehead will be entered in a drawing and one lucky fan will win a suite for up to 25 people.
The online vote is available via the Whitecaps home page at www.whitecapsbaseball.com under the contests page. Ballots will also be available during Whitecaps home games this season until the voting ends on May 11. The winning bobblehead will be announced at a later date and given out on August 26 when the Whitecaps host the Great Lakes Loons at 7 p.m.
The four other bobbleheads the Whitecaps will give away this season are Gorkys Hernandez/Cameron Maybin back-to-back championship bobblehead (April 18), Joe Staley bobblehead (May 16), Phil Regan bobblehead (June 9) and Dave Rozema Karate Kick bobbleleg (July 9).
