Oscar Goodman bobbleheads
Bobbleheads of any kind are usually a pretty good draw, but the team’s Mayor Oscar Goodman series was especially well-received.
Longtime radio broadcaster Russ Langer said the Goodman bobbleheads were “amazingly popular.”
“I can’t believe they were as popular as they were,” Johnson said. “It just boggles my mind what a popular mayor Oscar Goodman was and he let us participate in that almost a cult following by letting us do those.”
Johnson said they did maybe six to eight during Goodman’s last years in office, including one of him in a Hawaiian shirt holding a martini.
Jerseys
The 51s have been pretty conventional with their jersey giveaways lately, but no matter what, fans show up for jerseys.
“I think jerseys are the top-drawing giveaway,” Logan said.
This year, the 51s have already given away an Amed Rosario replica jersey and a 51s camouflage jersey. They will also give away a “51s Mets style jersey,” on July 28 and one more on Sept. 1 on Fan Appreciation night. ERA
