"The bobblehead is wearing a Dodgers hat and Yamamoto's No. 18 jersey, along with a glove and a bat in his left hand, a pose Yamamoto uses because he's a righty. The Dodgers released a charming video to accompany the bobblehead announcement, featuring Yamamoto talking to Yoshi."
"Over the past three days, the price has increased by 23%, most of that coming from the announcement of the new promotion. The get-in price was only $108 with fees, according to Ticket Data, on Friday morning before the announcement, which calculates to a $16 jump in just a matter of hours."
"We believe the process part of increasing your chances of getting there is by creating a destination spot where your really good players don't want to leave, and where players on other teams are longingly looking at, like, 'Oh man, I want to play for them.'"
The Los Angeles Dodgers unveiled a Yoshi bobblehead featuring Nintendo's iconic character dressed in a Dodgers uniform with pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto's No. 18 jersey.

The Dodgers organization has strategically positioned itself as a destination for Japanese talent and fans, with leadership emphasizing the importance of creating an appealing organization that attracts elite players.
