The State College Spikes - our fine Pirates A affiliate and member of the New York Penn League - had probably the greatest promotion ever at last Saturday's home game. To celebrate our new skipper - and former Pirates outfielder - Turner Ward, the Spikes brass decided that a bobblehead was in order. I know, this itself is great news. However, the Spikes decided to kick raise the ante on bobblehead promotions everywhere by designing a bobblehead to commemorate Turner's legendary catch at Three Rivers Stadium. So let me introduce Lil' Turner....
Lil' Turner was not too pleased that this was the best shot of him that I got at the game, and wouldn't stop belly-aching until I assured him I would post some more later on. But I think that you can get the idea. Notice the door on the outfield wall that actually swings open and shut. And if you don't know why this is a totally awesome bobblehead than you obviously didn't follow the link for Big Turner's catch.
