Mehring Monday: Bobblehead Checklist

The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers announced their bobbleheads for the 2017 season last week. As a public service, Mehring Monday is a Bobblehead Checklist of Timber Rattlers bobbleheads that have been given away over the years.

This is as complete a list as possible. Pre-2009 bobbleheads do not have the dates of the giveaways. There were very few bobblehead giveaways prior to 2014. After that….whoa…You may order your 2017 Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Bobblehead Package at this link.
