Shohei Ohtani fans showed unprecedented enthusiasm by lining up for 4.5 hours to get his first bobblehead freebie of the 2025 season. The offer was available at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. The offer attracted a huge crowd, causing traffic jams around the stadium as well as long lines of enthusiastic fans.
Bobblehead giveaway of Shohei Ohtani creates giant traffic jam and long lines at Dodger StadiumThe Shohei Ohtani bobblehead giveaway was so eagerly anticipated that supporters started arriving hours before the stadium opened. The stampede of fans caused a huge traffic jam in the Chavez Ravine area, and parking lots were soon full. The Los Angeles Dodgers had already revealed that only the first 40,000 fans would receive the limited bobblehead featuring a smiling Shohei Ohtani resting his bat on his left shoulder.
The box was made from a Japanese anime, so it was even more special and desirable. The promotion attracted a sellout crowd of 53,527, the majors' biggest crowd this season and most in Dodger Stadium since Sept. 20, 2019.
Strong demand for Shohei Ohtani bobbleheads fuels a sizeable resale market activityOn places like eBay, the Shohei Ohtani bobblehead is being sold for $179 or more and people are selling it brand new in the package. As great as it may sound, 1,700 road gray jersey bobbleheads were randomly sent out with the gift.
The Dodgers have planned three additional Shohei Ohtani giveaways for this year to commemorate his first year with the team following six years of playing with the Angels. The upcoming promotions will include a hat, a second bobblehead, and a shirt, all of which are likely to generate lots of interest from the fans.
Overall, the first Shohei Ohtani bobblehead offer of 2025 was emblematic of the huge popularity of the player and the extent of devotion exhibited by Dodgers' supporters. It yielded record crowds, traffic jams of gigantic sizes, and a fairly lively resale market for the greatly coveted collectibles. Fans await with bated breath the coming Shohei Ohtani-themed offers to occur later in the year.
