Evan Longoria is getting a Game of Thrones-themed bobblehead

Evan Longoria is soon to be crowned the king of Westeros ... er, St. Petersburg.
Thanks to the Rays' just-announced bobblehead giveaway, fans of George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones franchise will be able to proclaim Longo's dominion over their own homes with an miniature No. 3 seated on an Iron Throne.

The first 15,000 fans through the gates at the Rays' July 8 battle against the Red Sox will take home a cape-clad plastic Longoria, and if that wasn't convincing enough, he's even got a baseball bat as a scepter.
This bobblehead giveaway is the latest installment in Major League Baseball's Game of Thrones fandom. We'll see GoT theme nights hosted by at least 19 MLB teams this summer, and the offseason gave us Hunter Pence's holiday rendition of the infamously dramatic theme song.
What's next, a leaguewide move from ash baseball bats to dragonglass?
