Wednesday was a big day at Kansas City’s Negro Leagues Baseball Museum ceremonies. Grocer Hy-Vee presented the museum with a $20,000 check from the sales of Amos Otis bobbleheads, and NLBM president Bob Kendrick unveiled a new hot dog ahead of the museum’s annual Heart of America Hot Dog Festival.
The Otis bobblehead is the second bobblehead in the Kansas City Monarchs Legacy Bobblehead collector series. The series represents “legendary Kansas City Royals players as members of the Kansas City Monarchs.” The first in the series was a likeness of Frank White.
The bobbleheads sell for $10.
