The Pirates’ most coveted bobblehead next season probably won’t be a current player.
The Pirates promotional schedule, released Wednesday, includes a Bob Walk chair-tip bobblechair which depicts a moment from last season when the former Pirates pitcher and current broadcaster tumbled from his seat. Video of the spill was aired on a Root Sports telecast June 29 and went viral online.
Other bobblehead giveaways in 2017 include catcher Francisco Cervelli (April 8), shortstop Jordy Mercer (June 18) and right fielder Gregory Polanco (Aug. 19).
The Pirates will play host to post-game FanJam concerts at PNC Park May 26 and Aug.
