America’s pastime has long been celebrated through the jerseys, gloves and hats of its legendary players. But one item has cemented itself as a staple to fans and collectors around the league: the bobblehead. These collectible figurines with oversized heads are given away during game promotions and have become a beloved part of baseball memorabilia for decades.

But it wasn’t until the San Francisco Giants gave out a Willie Mays bobblehead in 1999 that the craze really took off. “That started it all,” says Carlton Hawkins, director of marketing for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Now, more than ever, it’s important for children to believe in themselves and follow their dreams. And this inspiring story about a boy and his hockey-playing bobble head is an excellent reminder of that message.
