A Kentucky minor league
team is attempting to cash in on the Manti Te'o story by offering fans a "Manti
Te'o Girlfriend Bobblehead Night."
Just one
catch, there won't be a real bobblehead.
The
Florence Freedom say they'll be handing out empty boxes to the first 1000 fans
on Thursday, May 23.
"This will be the best kind of bobblehead a fan could get,"
Freedom General Manager Josh Anderson said in a release. "Because
now fans can make the bobblehead out to be whatever they want it to be."
The Freedom say they'll block off a section for fans to sit with their imaginary
friends, girlfriend, boyfriend or spouse. They'll also have a pretend kiss cam,
air guitar contest and an imaginary food fight.
The Florence
Freedom play in the Independent Frontier League.
