The very first bobble of the season was given out during Opening Week, and it featured the legendary Kirk Gibson scampering around the bases after hitting a walk-off home run to win Game 1 of the 1988 World Series. You can see that giveaway on the right.That same week we were also told that a limited run, 88 total, of autographed Gibson bobbles would be made available for auction online, and as you can see in the pic above they are all painted gold. Currently, all 88 signed bobbleheads are available at MLB Auctions, and they have an starting bid of $288.00 each. Go here to check out all the Kirk Gibson items.
All proceeds from this sale will go to the Kirk Gibson Foundation.
BTW, I placed a bod on one of them, and you should do too. All 88 auctions close at the end of this month - April 30th.

Cool bobblehead. Great cause. I'm a huge fan of signed bobbleheads... but these are a little out of my price range. Hope you win that auction.
