THE APEX TIMES
Dodgers to unveil Andy Pages and Kiké Hernández “The Catch” bobblehead for Sept. 6 showdown with Nationals
The club’s latest giveaway is built around a postseason moment, with 50,000 fans at Dodger Stadium receiving the Andy Pages and Kiké Hernández figures tied to a World Series Game 7 scene.
The Los Angeles Dodgers announced a new promotional item for the 2026 regular season: a dual bobblehead featuring Andy Pages and Kiké Hernández, themed to “The Catch” from World Series Game 7. The release positions the giveaway as one of the season’s most anticipated crowd draws, pairing a popular fan collectible format with a postseason image the organization has leaned on as part of its identity.
According to the Dodgers’ announcement circulated through Yahoo Sports, the bobbleheads will be distributed on Sept. 6, when Los Angeles hosts the Washington Nationals at Dodger Stadium. The giveaway is limited to the first 50,000 attendees, a common cut-off that creates early-arrival pressure and helps ensure a large portion of the fan base can get the item.
The design centers on Pages and Hernández, two players whose roles with the Dodgers have varied by season but who are closely associated with the team’s recent postseason storylines. By selecting both names for the same figure set, the giveaway emphasizes a shared moment rather than spotlighting a single player, turning the collectible into a reference point for Dodgers baseball history.
Labeling the bobblehead “The Catch” ties the promotion directly to a specific World Series Game 7 moment. In practical terms, that means the item is likely to resonate most with fans who follow the postseason closely, since “Game 7” carries extra weight and “The Catch” functions as an easy shorthand for a widely discussed defensive play.
While bobbleheads do not affect games in any measurable way, they do affect how a franchise manages its home dates and fan engagement. For the Dodgers, a late-season giveaway pegged to a marquee division opponent provides a reason for casual attendees to plan ahead, particularly because the distribution runs to a strict first-come, first-served cap.
For fans, the immediate question will be logistics: the Dodgers have set the date and stadium distribution limit, but specific lines, entry times, and any restrictions are typically clarified closer to game day by the team or stadium operations. As the Sept. 6 matchup approaches, the bobblehead’s release details, including how collectors can ensure they receive the item, will likely become a central part of the game-day conversation.
