Dodgers Honor Kobe Bryant With Bobblehead Giveaway

The Los Angeles Dodgers will honor Lakers legend Kobe Bryant with a special bobblehead giveaway to the first 40,000 fans during their August 8 home game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The bobblehead depicts Bryant in his gold No. 24 Lakers jersey, left-handed batting stance, and wearing the Zoom Kobe 6 Protro 'Dodgers' sneakers, inspired by a 2009 Lakers media day photo. This tribute continues the Dodgers’ tradition of honoring Bryant, following previous themed giveaways. The Dodgers' second half of the season begins July 18 against the Milwaukee Brewers, with other promotions including bobbleheads for Shohei Ohtani and Kiké Hernández, and a replica Yoshinobu Yamamoto World Series ring. Fans have shown strong enthusiasm for these promotions, with some suggesting alternate dates to honor Bryant’s legacy. Bryant, who died in 2020, was a regular presence at Dodgers games and threw out the first pitch in 2000.
