![Bobbleheads of presidents]()
So much for trying to plan ahead.
Minor league teams are always trying to lure fans in with creative, intriguing promotions. The St. Paul Saints (minor league affiliate of Minnesota Twins) thought an "Election Themed Night" would be the perfect way to draw folks in later on in the season (not entirely sure why they thought that would be a good idea), so they decided to do a bobble head giveaway and scheduled it way back before the season got started.
Which means they had to order the bobble heads well in advance.
On paper, the idea is rather interesting. They ordered 1,000 Joe Biden bobble heads (that look like a Biden before the turn of the century) and 1,000 Donald Trump bobble heads (that frankly aren't orange enough for my liking) so they could host a "Bobblelection."
They explain how it works in the caption below, and also conceded that they obviously got one of the candidates wrong, but they couldn't do much about it:
"They bobble. You decide. Tonight, the first 2,000 fans through the gate will be able to 'cast their vote' by choosing between the two bobbleheads.
The first one to run out wins our Bobblection! And yes, we know, this is what happens when you had to order bobbleheads in April..."

I guess it's a little too late to trade out those Joe Biden bobble heads for Kamala Harris ones, eh?
But if you are the St. Paul Saints, the last thing you want to do is sit on 1,000 Joe Biden bobble heads and try to figure out how to repurpose them. I guess you might as well just roll with what you originally had planned, even though social media hasn't been shy in calling them out in the replies:
So.... who won?
