Topline:

The Dodgers announced their promotional giveaway schedule for 2026 on Monday, and it includes some special bobblehead games commemorating the team's 2025 World Series repeat that are sure to be popular.

Memorable playoff moments: There are two bobblehead series in particular that look like they could reach collectors item status. The first is a set of four bobbleheads depicting pivotal moments from the Dodgers' World Series Game 7 win over the Toronto Blue Jays, including Miguel Rojas' game-tying 9th inning home run (Friday, May 8), Will Smith's go-ahead home run in the 11th (Saturday, March 28), Mookie Betts' game-ending double play (Friday, June 19) and Yoshinobu Yamamoto's reaction to the final out from the mound (Wednesday, May 27).

The Ohtani factor: The second is a pair of bobbleheads honoring Shohei Ohtani's "Greatest Game of All Time" on the mound and at the plate in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers when he struck out 10 batters and hit three home runs. The bobblehead giveaway honoring his hitting performance will be Friday, April 10, and the pitching one will be Wednesday, July 8.
