Curse of the Bobbleheads and More News

Curse of the Bobbleheads!

Here's a great post I read about a trip to a ball game where the writer considers a player's bobblehead night to be a curse on their performance! :-)

"...So up until this point, it was a great game, very enjoyable. And that's when The Curse happened.

The shades, though, there's no beef to be had there.
