Los Angeles Dodgers are bringing their A-game to 2025, not just on the field, but with a lineup of bobblehead giveaways and Heritage Nights that tap into LA culture in a way only true Angelenos will recognize.
From Shohei Ohtani’s record-breaking bobbleheads to nods at LA legends like Ice Cube, Fernando Valenzuela, and Kobe Bryant, this season’s promos are more than just baseball collectibles, they’re a tribute to the city’s rich history and diverse fanbase.
The Dodgers Bobblehead Lineup: More Than Just Baseball Stars
While the Dodgers have always rolled out some of the best bobblehead nights in MLB, 2025 feels different. The team isn’t just honoring its own stars, it’s celebrating the culture of Los Angeles itself.
These will only include bobblehead giveaways, as the team is already working on, but has not yet announced, a giveaway for Kiké Hernández and Clayton Kershaw, the two most recent re-signings.
Must-Have Dodgers Bobbleheads
Here are some highlights fans can’t afford to miss:
- 🌟 April 2 – Shohei Ohtani MVP Bobblehead, because LA loves a superstar.
- 🎙️ May 19 – Vin Scully Bobblehead, the voice of generations.
- 🎤 June 21 – Ice Cube Bobblehead, a must for hip-hop and Dodgers fans alike.
- 🇲🇽 July 19 – Fernando Valenzuela Bobblehead, Viva Valenzuela!
- 🐍 August 8 – Kobe Bryant Bobblehead, an LA legend beyond baseball.
Each of these isn’t just about the player or celebrity, it’s a nod to LA’s deep sports and entertainment culture.
The entire season will support this statement, as the team has confirmed that they will hold a World Series trophy giveaway the same night the Padres visit Dodger Stadium, after what happened in the playoffs last season.
Heritage Nights That Hit Different
Beyond the bobbleheads, the Dodgers are also rolling out a series of Heritage Nights designed to celebrate the city’s diverse communities.
Expect Japanese Heritage Night (April 28), Mexican Heritage Night (May 20), and even Star Wars Night (May 14), where fans can snag a Death Star hovering over Dodger Stadium.
This giveaway is especially relevant as the franchise replaces its Millenium Falcon giveaway and leans into its “Evil Empire” persona like the Yankees did in the early 2000s.
Limited Edition = Get There Early!
With only 40,000 bobbleheads per game, these giveaways will be gone fast. Whether you’re a baseball fan or just someone who loves LA culture, hip-hop, nostalgia, and iconic moments, this is the season to hit up Dodger Stadium.
