Earl Weaver Bobblehead Kicked from the Game

The first 1,500 fans at today's Rochester Red Wings game were supposed to receive an Earl Weaver bobblehead Doll.

Instead - as Weaver was so many times during his fiery career as Orioles manager - the figurines have been tossed.

It seems the 1,500 dolls, which showed Weaver wearing his cap backward and swinging his right leg, left the former manager shaking his head. Someone bobbled the assignment, so the collectibles are being returned to the factory for retrofitting.

Fans will be given a coupon redeemable on July 17.
