One of Cincinnati’s favorite sons is coming back to the
Queen City in the form of a bobblehead. Starting this weekend, the Cincinnati
Reds Hall of Fame and Museum will be giving away bobbleheads of former
Cincinnati Reds shortstop and 2012 Major League Baseball Hall of Fame inductee,
Barry Larkin.
The bobbleheads will be free with the purchase of a full
price admission to the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum on Fridays,
Saturdays, and Sundays throughout the month of August starting on Friday,
August 1. Tickets cost $10 for adults, $8 for students and senior citizens, and
$6 for all active and former members of the military. There is a strict one
bobblehead per visitor per day rule.
Considering how the Reds gave out Barry Larkin bobbleheads
in 2001 and in 2006, I would expect demand for this nodder to be less than that
of the Eric Davis nodder that was given out in July. However, Larkin is one of
the more popular Reds from the 1990 World Series Championship team, and if you
want this bobblehead, I suggest you get to the Hall of Fame and Museum as soon
as possible as only 6000 bobbleheads were produced, and the supply might
deplete rather quickly.
I have the Barry Larkin bobblehead that the Reds gave out
during the 2006 season, so I will not be heading to the Hall of Fame and Museum
to get the 2014 edition. Pictures of the 2014 version are online, and it does
look like a cool bobblehead, so if you do not yet have a Larkin nodder in your
collection, you might want to consider heading to the Hall of Fame and Museum
to get one for yourself.
