Yoshinobu Yamamoto Stars in Dodgers Super Mario Crossover

"Beloved Nintendo character Yoshi is featured on the bobblehead being given away on March 31. The cute dinosaur is shown wearing his name twin's No. 18 jersey and standing on red infield dirt in the promotional item. To promote the collaboration between the Dodgers and "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie," Yamamoto posed with the bobblehead and even recorded a funny video."

"The first 40,000 fans in attendance at the March 31 game against the Cleveland Guardians will get a Yoshi bobblehead. That game begins at 7:10 p.m. Pacific Time, though you'll probably want to get there early to ensure you don't miss out on a unique promotional item. Prices for that game have risen since the promotion was first announced."
