It's a little high-brow and not exactly XTC vs. Adam Ant, but the St. Paul Saints are giving away perhaps the most unique bobblehead in baseball: a spinning Cro-Magnon/Charles Darwin dual-head bobblehead to mark the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwin’s On the Origin of Species.
It's a little high-brow and not exactly XTC vs. Adam Ant, but the St. Paul Saints are giving away perhaps the most unique bobblehead in baseball: a spinning Cro-Magnon/Charles Darwin dual-head bobblehead to mark the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwin’s On the Origin of Species.
The giveaway is slated for the team's July 7 game.
“There may be no bigger debate than this,” said Saints Executive Vice President/General Manager Derek Sharrer. “No matter which side of the debate you fall this giveaway item is for you. The happy medium, for one night, is fun.”
In-game promotions during the game will ensure that fun will be had by both sides. Those favoring creationism will have a chance to bob for apples. In the seventh inning, everyone will rest.
For those on the evolution side, fans will be forced to adapt to their surroundings whether in the left field bleachers or hot tubs. They will honor the Saints’ evolutionary chain and some may participate in contest to find the best Tarzan call.
