AL EAST

Blue Jays: "Born Ready" Vladdy Bobblehead (May 25)
There’s a hot list of candidates this year with the Blue Jays’ AL Champions giveaways and the throwback items to celebrate their 50th season, but the “Born Ready” bobblehead of a young Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is the standout giveaway of the bunch. This is from a famous photo of a very young Guerrero, standing on the field with his father wearing a Montreal Expos uniform and holding his helmet up in the air to fans. The kid turned out all right. -- Keegan Matheson

Orioles: Jackson Holliday and Coconut Bobblehead (April 11)
Holliday’s 2-year-old bernedoodle, Coconut, went viral last year when the O’s second baseman hit his second career grand slam on the team’s first Bark at the Park Night of the 2025 season. Holliday always fared well during Bark at the Park in the Minors, and it has since carried over to the Majors. He dedicated the slam to Coconut (who wears his own customized jersey to games), and then took an on-field photo with him after the game. Now, Coconut is getting his first bobblehead alongside his dog dad. -- Jake Rill

Rays: Flappy Boi Bobble (Aug. 15)
Breaking news: Local stingray in great mood. Surely you’ve seen the meme, especially if you’re a Rays fan. Now, you can own the bobble … uh, boi. The Rays are bringing the image to life for the first 10,000 fans in attendance for their Aug. 15 game against the Orioles, with a replica of their smiling mascot “Stinger” standing in a ray tank with the news chyron below reading “LOCAL STINGRAY IN A GREAT MOOD.” -- Adam Berry

Red Sox: Roger Clemens Double 20-K Bobblehead Night (May 22)
Roger Clemens made history on April 29, 1986, when he electrified Fenway by setting a Major League record by striking out 20 Seattle Mariners. Leave it to the Rocket to tie his own record a decade later, in his final win and shutout for Boston, on Sept. 18, 1996, at Tiger Stadium. In a unique giveaway to the first 7,500 fans in attendance, there will be a double bobblehead (one with Clemens in home whites and the other in road grays) to commemorate both performances. And the Twins are in town, the team Roger’s 29-year-old son Kody plays for. -- Ian Browne

Yankees: George Costanza Calzone Bobblehead Night (Aug. 27)
"I know that smell! Costanza is in the building!" The Yankees will pay tribute to a classic 1996 Seinfeld episode in which George Costanza (Jason Alexander) gets George M. Steinbrenner hooked on eggplant calzones from a local restaurant. It's the third in a series of Costanza bobbleheads, previously featuring "batting stance" and "nap under desk." -- Bryan Hoch

AL CENTRAL

Guardians: José Ramírez Camp Shirt (July 18)
Make sure to arrive early for this giveaway, Cleveland. The Guardians will host the Pirates on a Saturday afternoon during their first series after the All-Star Game, and they’re coming out of the break strong with their giveaways. This Ramírez shirt is emblazoned with images of his face, him in action and two of his famous catch phrases: “You know, bro,” and “Home run pitch.” It certainly will be a hit among fans, in a season Ramírez has continued his march up the franchise leaderboards. -- Tim Stebbins

Royals: Big Bobby Bobblehead Night (July 18)
Aside from this being a tongue twister to say, this giveaway is sure to be a hit with Royals fans, who clamor for any Bobby Witt Jr.-themed promotion. This bobblehead is a bit different because it features a much bigger head on the figurine than a normal bobblehead. Some might remember the Royals’ big Salvy bobblehead giveaway a few years ago, featuring Salvador Perez blowing a huge bubble. Big Bobby can now join him on your shelf. -- Anne Rogers

Tigers: Replica Statue Days
To celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Tigers’ inaugural season in the fledgling American League in 1901, the Tigers are offering special ticket packages that includes miniature replicas of the statues honoring Tigers greats that adorn the outfield concourse at Comerica Park: Hank Greenberg on June 11, Ty Cobb on July 8, Willie Horton on July 26, Hal Newhouser on Aug. 12, Charlie Gehringer on Sept. 22 and Al Kaline on Sept. 27. -- Jason Beck

Twins: Kirby Puckett Jersey (July 24)
Baby blue always looks good, and this one commemorates a legend. The first 10,000 fans through the gates will receive a Kirby Puckett jersey in classic ‘80s blue. And to make it even better, because it’s a Saturday night, that means there’s also a pregame happy hour – $2 select food and beers from when gates open until first pitch. -- Matthew Leach

White Sox: Wooden Domino Set (Aug. 22)
Circle Aug. 11 as the best promotion, with a White Sox Pope hat being given away as announced on Wednesday. But that giveaway comes through a special ticket offer. If you are looking for something different and oftentimes a clubhouse favorite among players, here’s the winner. The Dominos have the White Sox logo engraved upon each one and are going to the first 10,000 fans. A bobblehead of A.J. Pierzynski leaping into the arms of Bobby Jenks, recreating the last moment of the 2005 World Series sweep, already was given away on Easter Sunday. -- Scott Merkin

AL WEST

Angels: Angels Hockey Jersey (April 20)
With the United States fresh off winning Olympic gold medals in both men’s and women’s hockey in February, the Angels are giving away an Angels hockey jersey when they host the Blue Jays on April 20. It features the club's main colors of red, white and blue with Angels written diagonally across the front. -- Rhett Bollinger

Astros: Jose Altuve Soccer Jersey (June 19)
With the World Cup set to be played in the United States this summer, including several games in Houston at NRG Stadium, the Astros will tap into the spirit of the world’s most popular spot and give the first 10,000 fans through the Daikin Park gates in their game against the Guardians an Altuve soccer jersey. The following day, the Netherlands and Sweden meet in Houston. -- Brian McTaggart

Athletics: Nick Kurtz Bobblehead (April 17)
Reigning AL Rookie of the Year Nick Kurtz will be honored with the first bobblehead of his career. True to his “Big Amish” nickname, Kurtz is featured performing his “churning butter” celebration while donning a white home A’s uniform. Presented by NBC Sports California, Kurtz’s bobblehead will be handed out to early-arriving fans at Sutter Health Park when the A’s open up a three-game series against the White Sox on Friday, April 17. -- Martín Gallegos

Mariners: Salmon Run Aloha Shirt (July 22)
The Mariners are leaning even more into their quirkiest -- and what's quickly becoming their most beloved -- ballpark traditions with the Salmon Run ticket special. It’s part race, part chaos, and now, part wardrobe. Fans who snag the offer will score an Aloha-style Salmon Run shirt, perfect for repping their favorite fish long after the finish line. Whether you’re Team Humpy, Coho or King, the between-innings sprint has become appointment viewing at T-Mobile Park. Now, it comes with a souvenir to match -- because in Seattle, even the salmon are getting star treatment. -- Daniel Kramer

Rangers: Nolan Ryan Bloody Lip Jersey (May 29)
On Sept. 8, 1990, future Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan failed to cleanly field a one-hopper off the bat of Bo Jackson. It bounced off his glove and into Ryan’s face before he threw Jackson out. Ryan resumed pitching -- throwing seven scoreless innings -- with blood dripping down his jersey. He got six stitches after the game and the picture became an iconic piece of Rangers lore. All fans who attend the May 29 matchup with the Royals will receive a replica blood-stained Ryan throwback jersey. -- Kennedi Landry

NL EAST

Braves: Ronald Acuña Jr. Crossover Basketball Jersey (Sept. 24)
The Braves' crossover jersey series includes a Michael Harris II football jersey giveaway on Aug. 10. But this year’s most popular giveaway will likely be the No. 13 Acuña basketball jersey that will be presented to the first 15,000 fans who attend the Braves’ final regular-season home game. The 2023 NL MVP regularly wears basketball jerseys to the stadium. -- Mark Bowman

Marlins: Throwback Basketball Jersey (April 19)
If there's one thing everyone can agree on it's teal. Miami is embracing its return with this Sunday matinee giveaway against the Brewers. The first 10,000 fans at loanDepot will receive a pinstripe throwback basketball jersey with the old Marlins font on the front and 93 (the franchise's inaugural season was in 1993) as well as the club's slogan "Fightin' Fish" on the back. Who knows? Maybe the Marlins will walk things off again that day. -- Christina De Nicola

Mets: Bobby Valentine Disguise (May 29)
Pretty much every Mets fan of a certain age recalls the scene on June 9, 1999, when then-manager Bobby Valentine was ejected from a game but returned to the dugout an inning later wearing sunglasses and a fake mustache. We can all be Bobby Valentine on May 29, when the Mets pay homage to the ridiculousness with a mustache-and-hat giveaway at Citi Field. -- Anthony DiComo

Nationals: Hawaiian Shirt and Shorts Set (Aug. 3)
Come for the baseball, leave with a summer wardrobe. On Saturday, Aug. 3, the Nationals are giving away a Hawaiian shirt and shorts set to the first 20,000 fans in attendance for their game against the Reds. The light blue ensemble matches the City Connect hue, and it features boats and curly Ws amid the waterscape. -- Jessica Camerato

Phillies: Phillies Big Chain (July 21)
If you have kids, then you know they love those huge chains that support their favorite sports team or school. The Phillies are giving away a Phillies chain with a retro logo to children 14 and under on July 21 before their game against the Dodgers. -- Todd Zolecki

NL CENTRAL

Brewers: Bar Dice Set (Aug. 8)
After last year’s cribbage board became a viral hit, the Brewers are back with another of Wisconsin’s favorite pastimes: bar dice. Odds are good that you know the game if you celebrated your 21st birthday somewhere in the state or have ever heard the phrase “horse on you.” But for the uninitiated, the rules are fairly simple: Make a strong hand within three shakes and then sit back and watch your friends battle it out for the honor of buying the next round. The leather cup is emblazoned with the Brewers’ state of Wisconsin alternate logo, and the dice are blue and yellow. -- Adam McCalvy

Cardinals: Grateful Dead Night (Aug. 24)
The Grateful Dead have sold over 30 million albums worldwide and have a huge fanbase in St. Louis, so it’s fitting that the Cardinals are giving love to the American jam band. With the purchase of a special Theme Ticket, fans will receive a Grateful Dead-inspired tie dye t-shirt. Plus, you don’t want to miss the pregame performance on the Budweiser Stage by St. Louis' favorite Dead tribute band, Jake's Leg. A portion of each ticket purchased will be donated to The Rex Foundation, which aims to help secure a healthy environment, promote individuality in the arts and provide support to critical and necessary social services. -- Bill Ladson

Cubs: Ben Zobrist Bobblehead (April 11)
Somehow, it’s been 10 years since the Cubs snapped their onerous 108-year World Series drought. The franchise will be celebrating that curse-breaking group in full on July 18, but fans can jumpstart the celebration by taking home a special Ben Zobrist Bobblehead on Saturday. The first 10,000 fans through the gates at Wrigley Field ahead of the Cubs’ game against the Pirates will receive a bobblehead of Zobrist, who will be forever remembered for his go-ahead double in the 10th inning of the fateful Game 7. -- Jared Greenspan

Pirates: For People and Their Furry Companions
If your dog is your best friend, you could take him or her to at least 12 pup nights at PNC Park this season. Seats are limited so purchase your tickets early. The trip to the ballpark includes a Rooftop ticket (Section 335-339) and a complimentary dog's ticket (limit one dog per person per game). The Pirates also will have the second of two special pregame Pup Paw-rades on Sept. 22. The first one occurred this past Tuesday. You must have a Rooftop ticket to bring your dog to the game. -- Bill Ladson

Reds: Noelvi Marte Bobblehead (April 11)
This bobblehead giveaway, coming on Saturday, is a departure from the usual dolls. This one of Marte is a depiction of his game-and-season-saving leaping catch at the right-field fence in the ninth inning of a Sept. 25, 2025, game vs. the Pirates at Great American Ball Park. -- Mark Sheldon

NL WEST

D-backs: Serpientes Replica Jersey (May 23)
This is a loaded promotional giveaway calendar that also features the mystery Corbin Carroll 30/30 bobblehead. But the best giveaway is the purple-and-teal Serpientes replica jersey. The first 25,000 fans through the gates at Chase Field for the D-backs' game against the Rockies on May 23 will take home this good-looking jersey. -- Steve Gilbert

Dodgers: Shohei Ohtani "Greatest Game" Bobbleheads (April 10 and July 8)
Ohtani put on the two-way performance of a lifetime in Game 4 of the NLCS against the Brewers, hitting three home runs and striking out 10 across six scoreless innings as the Dodgers clinched a return trip to the World Series. So instead of having just one bobblehead for that incredible game, the Dodgers are giving away two: one depicting Ohtani the hitter on Friday, and another featuring Ohtani the pitcher on July 8. -- Sonja Chen

Giants: Brandon Belt Aloha Shirt (April 25)
In honor of Brandon Belt Celebration Day on April 25 at Oracle Park, the Giants will give out an orange aloha shirt plastered with their former All-Star first baseman’s face, baby giraffes, splash hits and other fun doodles. The top also features a makeshift “C,” which is a reference to the time Belt became the Giants’ self-proclaimed captain in 2021. -- Maria Guardado

Padres: Padres Puffer Vest (April 15)
You want utility? There’s no better fit for Petco Park than the puffer vest that the Padres will be giving away April 15 against the Mariners. It works for both beautiful San Diego days and moderately chilly nights at the ballpark. The brown vest with gold outlines? Stylish, too. -- AJ Cassavell

Rockies: Todd Helton Replica Statue (Sept. 19)
The Rockies will be honoring Todd Helton before their final Saturday home game of the regular season, unveiling a statue of Helton outside of Coors Field. The Hall of Fame first baseman won't be the only one receiving a statue that afternoon: The first 15,000 fans through the gates before the Rockies’ game against the Mariners will receive a special Todd Helton replica statue. It's one of several must-have giveaways this season, paying homage to a franchise great. -- Jared Greenspan
