Tonight, the Los Angeles Dodgers are holding their first-ever Digital Bobblehead Night. At Friday’s game agains the San Diego Padres, the first 40,000 fans to arrive will be given the opportunity to download a Clayton Kershaw, Justin Turner, or Kenley Jansen crypto token. The promotion is the first of its kind in Major League Baseball, and believed to be the first cryptocurrency giveaway in sports, according to the Dodgers’ official press release.
Bobbleheads are as American as apple pie. Given away as free collectibles at sports games, they sit on shelves and desks, staring timelessly into the distance, heads slowly dancing along to any movement.
