This guy’s about to be a baseball Bobblehead
LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WISH) — A summer college baseball team’s mascot, Ace, will be immortalized as a Bobblehead, the team says.
The Lafayette Aviators of the Prospect League will play for a third straight summer at Columbian Park’s Loeb Stadium. Opening Night will be vs. the Chillicothe, Ohio, Paints at 7 p.m. May 31.
The Paints’ mascot is a horse.
Ace? He’s an Aviator, of course.
Soon, General Manager David Krakower says, Ace will also be a Bobblehead. “In our two seasons at the new Loeb Stadium, fans have made multiple requests for an Ace bobblehead,” he said in a statement.
Converse, Indiana-headquartered First Farmers Bank & Trust “were able to make it happen,” the statement added.
A limited number of Ace Bobbleheads will go on sale in June at the online team store.
The first 250 kids at the 1,901-seat stadium during the July 8 against the Champion City, Ohio, Kings can get an Ace Bobblehead of their own to take home at no extra charge. Single-game tickets will go on sale last this spring.
