Atlanta Braves announce seven awesome bobblehead giveaways for 2018!
By Jeff Schafer
Braves share dates of when bobbleheads will be given out in 2018
Over the past few years, my thing has become collecting these bobbleheads. Why? I have no clue other than they’re cool to have and see. My office shelve is definitely filling up…thanks Atlanta Braves for continuing to make awesome looking ones!
It’s kind of funny these bobbleheads. Fans run to the ticket websites to secure seats for these dates. They’re all in great anticipation for the day of the game and to make sure they get one of the few they pass out. Then you receive your very own, then what?
People will flock to the ticket sites and schedule their plans around these dates. Heck, I do. And I most likely will for the early August series against the Milwaukee Brewers and the series in August against the Colorado Rockies. Why you ask again? Because I gotta have the two new Hall of Famer, Chipper Jones bobblehead!!
The dates and giveaways are below…not just bobbleheads, we’ll share every giveaway. Now start planning!
March 29th – The first 40,000 fans will receive a ‘Chop On’ Tomahawk in celebration of Opening Day
March 30th – All fans will receive an Atlanta Braves 2018 magnetic schedule
March 31st – All fans will receive an Atlanta Braves 2018 magnetic schedule

Lots of cool stuff planned for the 2018 Atlanta Braves season. I also forgot to mention…if you haven’t checked out the Battery at the new SunTrust Park, begin making plans. It’s a great venue for a great time and to watch a little baseball.
If you needed one last hint…purchase your tickets for August 10th soon. With the game being on a Friday night, the start of the Alumni weekend and Chipper Jones bobblehead night, this game will most likely sell out.
