Collectible Bobblehead Series

The younger brother of famed Cincinnati Red Stockings captain Harry Wright, George became a star player with the Washington and New York clubs and was an immediate target for Harry when the Cincinnati club decided to hire all its players in 1869.

With George in the fold, the Red Stockings had secured the services of baseball's best player on what was soon to be baseball's best team. On a club filled with superlative talents, George was exceptional. He led the Red Stockings in every offensive category-in most cases by a wide margin. He hit an astonishing .633, had 304 hits, hit 49 home runs and scored 339 runs. In addition to his awesome offensive production, Wright's play at short established the standard for modern play at the position.

George Wright was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1937 as part of the Hall's second induction class. In a special election in 2005, George and his brother Harry were honored with induction into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame.  

The George Wright bobblehead is available ONLY with a membership to the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum.

Hired by the Reds shortly before the start of Spring Training in 1919, Pat Moran became the first manager in franchise history to lead the team to the World Series. Born in Fitchburg, MA in 1876, Moran played parts of 14 seasons in the Major Leagues primarily as a catcher from 1901-1914. The Reds had finished in third place in 1918 but vaulted to the top of the standings in 1919. The Reds finished with a 96-44 record, good for a .686 winning percentage that remains the best of any Reds team since 1900, and went on to win the World Series. The Reds were pennant contenders in three of the next four seasons under Moran's watch. He fell ill in the spring of 1924 and died on March 7 at the age of 48. His .564 winning percentage over the course of his five years as Reds manager is the fifth best in franchise history and only five managers have led the Reds to more victories than Moran's 425.

UPDATE - Nuxhall bobble now only available with membership

The public supply of the Reds Hall of Fame & Museum's June bobblehead featuring Joe Nuxhall has been exhausted. However, this bobblehead is still available as part of all Hall of Fame membership levels.

Like all teams throughout professional baseball, the Reds were leaving no stone unturned in their quest for players to fill both their Major and Minor League rosters during World War II. Wartime conscription and volunteer service had depleted the professional ranks at all levels. In 1943, 14 -year-old Joe Nuxhall caught the eye of Reds scouts while pitching in the Hamilton Summer League. The Reds signed him to a contract in February 1944. On June 10 of that year in a game against the Cardinals at Crosley Field, Nuxhall, who had turned 15 the previous July, made baseball history by becoming the youngest player to appear in a big league game. Wearing the No. 43 for the only time in his Major League career, Joe retired two of the first three Cardinal batters he faced, sandwiching a walk in between a groundout and a pop-up. Then the floodgates opened. His control abandoning him, Joe could not record another out. Before it was over he allowed five Cardinal runs on two hits, five walks and a wild pitch. This bobblehead depicts Joe as a 15-year-old, making that historic debut.

The Joe Nuxhall bobblehead is included in the following Reds Hall of Fame and Museum membership levels:

David "Gus" Bell was a fixture in the Reds' outfield for nine seasons. In his first year as a Red, Gus belted 30 home runs, collected 105 RBI, tallied 102 runs and finished the season with a .300 batting average. During his breakout year, he was elected to the National League All-Star roster where he would start in center field in front of his home crowd at Crosley Field. Bell would go on to have three more All-Star appearances for the Reds in 1954, 1956 and 1957. In 1956, Bell contributed 29 round-trippers to the then-Major League record-tying 221 home runs the Reds hit during the season. In addition to his strong bat, Bell was one of the most gifted defensive outfielders of his era, regularly placing among the National League's leaders in putouts, assists and fewest errors committed.

Gus Bell's baseball legacy was carried on by his son Buddy and grandsons David and Mike. The Bells are one of only four three-generation families to play in the Major Leagues, and Gus, Buddy and Mike are the only three-generation family to play for the Reds. Gus Bell was inducted into the Reds Hall of Fame in 1964.

The Gus Bell bobblehead is included in the following Reds Hall of Fame and Museum membership levels:

UPDATE - Pinson bobblehead now only available with membership

The public supply of the Reds Hall of Fame & Museum's August bobblehead featuring Vada Pinson has been exhausted. However, this bobblehead is still available as part of the Reds All-Star, Most Valuable Partner and World Champion membership levels for the Hall of Fame.   

ossessing an impressive combination of power and speed, Vada Pinson burst onto the scene in 1958 by belting a grand slam in his second Major League game. A National League All-Star in his first two full seasons (1959 and 1960), Pinson also led the league in doubles in each of those years, and would rank among the league's top ten in this category in eight of his ten full seasons in Cincinnati. He also twice led the league in hits, at-bats and triples, and in 1959, led the league in runs scored. A brilliant defender, Pinson's talents in center field were acknowledged with a Gold Glove Award in 1961.

Along with Frank Robinson, Pinson helped anchor one of the strongest outfields in the National League -- a group that helped propel the Reds to the league pennant in 1961 and near-pennants in 1962, 1964 and 1965.

The Vada Pinson bobblehead is included in the following Reds Hall of Fame and Museum membership levels:

One of the most-popular players in Reds history, Ted Kluszewski remains the most enduring symbol of Reds baseball in the 1950s. Known for his bulging biceps, a physical characteristic that forced him to cut the sleeves off his jersey to allow him to swing his bat freely, "Big Klu" was one of the great sluggers and most gifted fielders of his era. A Red from 1947 to 1957, Kluszewski was an All-Star each season from 1953 to 1956, and led NL first basemen in fielding percentage each season from 1951 to 1955.

Kluszewski's 1954 season stands as one of the finest offensive seasons in the club's history. He hit .326, led the NL in home runs with 49, RBI with 141 and finished second in voting for the NL's MVP award.

For his career, Kluszewski hit 251 home runs in a Reds uniform -- a total bested by only four players in franchise history. Inducted into the Reds Hall of Fame in 1962, his uniform #18 was retired by the Reds in 1998. On Opening Day 2003, Klu's statue was the first to be installed at the Crosley Terrace entrance to Great American Ball Park.

The Ted Kluszewski bobblehead is included in the following Reds Hall of Fame and Museum membership levels:
