Fun Facts

  • The Brewers were 5-1 in bobblehead giveaway games this season.
  • The sliding Bernie was given away to fans who bought the birthday package at Miller Park. He was given away with the birthday package from about 2005-2009. The 2008 version can be identified by the date on the bottom, and the fact that home plate is a cream white color. Also, though a different color than 2005, home plate is the same size as the 2005 version. In both the 2005 and 2008 versions, home plate is slightly larger than the 2009 version. Also, the 2005 is made by BD&A. '08 and '09 are by BDA.
  • The second Prince Fielder bobble given away was to commemorate him becoming the first player in team history to hit 50 HRs. This feat occurred in the 2007 season.
  • *JJ Hardy or '08 Bernie the first SGA bobble made when BD&A changed their name to BDA. Up to this point the company was printing BD&A on the bottom of the bobbles. I am not sure, but it makes me assume that Sliding Bernie was ordered after Barrel Man around the time of Hardy and Hart then, because the new company name "BDA" is printed on these bobbles. Perhaps leftover 2005 Bernies were given away until midway through this season when they reordered? The reason I place 2008 Bernie in my chronological display this way is because of the change from BD&A to BDA.
