CanadaBoy 151 Report post Posted March 19, 2009 Grand Rapids Griffins forward Justin Abdelkader discusses the slightly odd fact that he shall live on in bobblehead form: March 19, Grand Rapids Press: Saturday's game will be special for sure, because the team is giving away 2,500 bobbleheads of me. You may have seen the picture in The Press on Tuesday. Having your own bobblehead is pretty cool, especially since I was chosen through a vote of Griffins fans. I have a lot of support here on the West side of Michigan, and it didn't hurt that a mass e-mail was sent out within my old high school, Mona Shores, encouraging people to vote for me. The fans have been great to me all season long. I have seen a lot of bobbleheads of pro athletes and always thought it would be cool to get my own someday, but I never thought it would happen. And it even looks like me a little bit! Saturday will be pretty special, especially with many of my friends and family in attendance. http://blog.mlive.com/snapshots/2009/03/life_in_plastic.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GROwl 5 Report post Posted March 22, 2009 I wanted to go to that game just for the bobblehead but I couldn't get tickets in time so I'll have to see if I can get one of them on ebay or something like that. I just took one of our 4 out of the box to put on my daughter's shelf alongside Flippula and DMAC. I had to laugh. The advertisers are getting in on the action. There is a big ol' Comcast sign on the base in front of Justin and Reebok has been written on his stick. Its too bad the Season Ticket Holders party was last Sunday before we got the bobbleheads. I would have liked to have Justin autograph the base like DMac did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
