The Los Angeles Dodgers have made headlines recently for their bobbleheads, especially the small Yoshi figurine that pays homage to star pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
But according to an analysis by Connor Clark for TickPick, other fanbases aren’t as blessed with bobbleheads.

In all of Major League Baseball, there are 179 bobblehead giveaway nights during the 2026 season.
A full 24 of them are at Dodger Stadium. The next-closest team is the Texas Rangers with 16 bobblehead giveaways.
That’s more than 13% of all bobblehead nights for the Dodgers alone.
Alternatively, that means if you attend a Dodgers home game, there’s a nearly 30% chance you’ll get a bobblehead — if you get there early enough, that is.

How Much do Dodgers Fans Love Bobbleheads?
Fans of the Boys in Blue not only are offered the most bobblehead nights, but they’re willing to pay the most, too.
The cost to attend all of those giveaways at Dodger Stadium adds up to an astonishing $2,011.

For reference, no other team even tops $1,000.
The Boys in Blue lay claim to 21 of the 25 most expensive bobblehead giveaways, as detailed by Bob Nightengale of USA Today.
Leading the pack, to no one’s surprise, was the Yoshi-Yamamoto mashup.
How Much Did the Yoshi Bobblehead Cost?
Pregame, the cheapest tickets were about $160.
Now that the resale market is in play, though, that figure is much higher.
StockX has Yoshi bobbleheads for sale for $255 as of Thursday evening.
That price doesn’t include the experience fans had getting to see Shohei Ohtani dominate on the mound and lead off the Dodgers’ batting order.

It also doesn’t include the special editions some players got.
No, there weren’t unique bobbleheads for them, but when you’re teammates with the bobblehead’s namesake, you can ask him to sign your statuette.
According to MLB.com’s Sonja Chen, some Dodgers players had Yamamoto sign their collectibles, raising their value and making them special keepsakes for the players.
We don’t know all of the players who asked for their Yoshi’s signature, but one of them was first baseman Freddie Freeman.
Team photographer Jon SooHoo shared images of the two stars smiling as Yamamoto signed.
