Minor League Team Gives Away 1,500 Moses Bobbleheads at Baseball Game

TULSA, Okla. Jul 8, 2006 (AP)— He delivered his people from bondage and through 40 years in the wilderness. Now Moses has become a key part of a five-game baseball homestand.

The Tulsa Drillers planned to hand out 1,500 Moses bobbleheads on Friday night. The bobblehead, complete with tablets representing the Ten Commandments, was part of a faith and family night sponsored by Oklahoma Wesleyan University and a Christian radio station.

"The bobblehead craze is still out there," said Brian Carroll, spokesman for the Double-A ballclub. "We'll probably draw two kinds of people for the game, the Moses fans and the bobblehead collectors."

4. Ya gotta wonder if the head on this one is fully removeable....


I can't believe the moxie of all this--I would think serious believers would be terribly offended. But I guess attitudes change, and the market bears all sorts of schlock.

And if there's a buck to be made, some putz will try to work it.

5. Thou shalt have no other bobbleheads before me
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's ass or thy neighbor's bobblehead.

Who is the One True bobblehead?

6. This is so bizarre, and on many different levels.
Can we call it a state sponsored religion yet? What if other faiths showed up to the minor league ballgame and didn't know it was zealous fundie night?
