Wisconsin Timber Rattlers MC Got Her Own Bobblehead
Here are a couple of the newer news items that mention Bobbleheads...
Sports Illustrated recently offered a tour of the bachelor pad shared by the Minnesota Twins' Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau. Among the highlights:
• A display of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and 10 bobblehead dolls, three of which are Mauer as a minor leaguer. Morneau said: "Joe's bobbleheads are realistic. His head is huge."

Outside of sports figures, it's rare for anyone to be immortalized in the form of a bobblehead doll.
Nikki Becker, the on-field entertainment emcee for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, is one of the few with that honor.
Known as Promo Nikki by baseball regulars, she beat out several former players and the popular concessionaire Brock Calmes to get the team's bobblehead nod this year. Technically, she's director of community and media relations.
"It's so funny when I meet people for the first time. They say, 'How do I know that voice? Oh, you're the girl on the field. You're Fang's friend.'"
In August, the team gave away 1,300 Promo Nikki bobbleheads, which are accurate down to the dimples.
"We bought some more for my mom," Becker said. "The family will have to put on their surprise face for Christmas."
