Bobblehead giveaways at MLB games are nothing new, but for Baltimore Orioles fans, there’s one you’re probably not going to want to miss in 2026.
When the Orioles play host to the Athletics at Camden Yards on May 8, fans in attendance will receive a unique bobblehead based on the late rapper Tupac Shakur. The bobblehead, which was revealed by the MLB’s official account on social media, features Tupac wearing an Orioles jersey and holding a baseball bat.
Though Tupac is best known for his role in West Coast hip-hop, he was born on the East Coast in Manhattan and later moved to Baltimore when he was 13. He also later attended the Baltimore School for the Arts before moving to the San Francisco Bay Area when he was 17.
We’re still more than two months from the start of the 2026 MLB season, but we may already have a runaway favorite for the best bobblehead giveaway of the year.
