The New York Mets are off to an Amazin’ start of the season, with memorable moments in almost every game. Now, FOCO has released a pair of bobbleheads, commemorating a walk off-winning celebration from this year’s campaign and a famous disguise from years past.
On May 19, first baseman Pete Alonso launched a two-run shot into the Citi Field bleachers to send the Mets faithful home happy in a 7-6 walk off victory. As he rounded third and headed for home, Alonso popped his helmet off, and launched it skyward like a three-point shot.
Now, you can celebrate his celebration in an epic crossover between the hardwood and the diamond with the Pete Alonso New York Mets From Wayyyy Downtown Home Run Bobblehead.
The bobblehead features Alonso mid-air, with stadium accents and info about his game-winning home run on the back.
Standing approximately 8 in. tall and limited to just 322 individually numbered units, the Alonso bobble retails for $75.
Decades before Alonso’s home run heroics, in June of 1999, Mets Manager Bobby Valentine snuck back into the dugout after being ejected from the game by the umpire. Valentine wore a fake mustache and a dark pair of sunglasses and stayed on the bench the rest of the evening. His stunt would become part of wacky MLB lore forever.
This Mets skipper in disguise now has his moment of undercover work immortalized with the Bobby Valentine In Disguise Bobblehead.
The Bobblehead features Valentine sitting in the dugout with his arms crossed and one leg up, wearing his now-famous disguise.
Standing (or in this case, sitting) at approximately 8 in. tall, and limited to just 360 individually numbered units, the Valentine bobble retails for $70.
Make sure your Mets collection features the best of past and present by heading online to FOCO’s website to get one or both bobbles.
