The Greatest and Best Baseball Promo Ever

Last Wednesday I went to Jewish Heritage night at the Giants game with my friend Grace Huang. Neither of us are Jewish, but we know a great bobble head when we see one, and this one is the cat's ass... Check it out!!!


It's the Rally Rabbi!!!! His head and beard bobble, he has the interlocking SF on his black hat, and he is playing some kind of horn or flute (please excuse my ignorance, I'm Catholic) With a ball at his feet and the number 18 on his back (???) he is resplendent in a smart black suit...















I thought about raffling him off as a fundraiser, but I can't, he's a keeper. He now adorns my desk along with Giants Bobble head, Abe Lincoln, and George Washington Bobble heads!!!

Chris, I know you're stoked about the Rally Rabbi, but....What the hell were the Giants thinking? This is one of the promos where the marketing team is still stunned this idea slipped past the approval guantlet. First of all, what does a rabbi playing a flute have to do with baseball? Think of it like this - You're a middle aged man, you plan 3 months in advance to take your kid to a ball game, your kid is bouncing off the wall with excitement for the hour it takes to get to SF, and when you arrive...they hand you a frickin rabbi bobble head? What the? Your kid looks at you and is suddenly silent. So perplexed, he can't speak. He would have been happy with a Matt Marris bobble head, even after he's been traded. Second, how does Gandolf from the Lord of the Rings pass as a Jewish rabbi?
