Everyone wanted their hands on a bobblehead as fans lined up outside Oracle Park for a chance to take home one of the 20,000 available. But, it wasn&#8217;t just fans wanted to take home the souvenir\u2014Ohtani made sure he got to grab one, too.<\/p>\n<p>Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow shared the fun story of Ohtani securing a Bonds bobblehead when appearing on <a href=\"https:\/\/omny.fm\/shows\/murph-markus-podcast\/7-14-mike-krukow-joins-murph-markus-to-recap-the-giants-dodgers-series-dodgers-fans-taking-over-oracle-park-rafael-devers-bad-luck-tyler-rogers-availability-on-sunday-patrick-baileys-inability-to-lay-a-bunt-down?t=14m51s\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">KNBR&#8217;s Murph and Markus show<\/a> this week. Someone with Ohtani after the game went up to a group of Giants workers who happened to be collecting the leftover bobbleheads after the game. Ohtani apparently wanted one of the bobbleheads, so the guy he was with asked a worker if he could grab one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe wanted the Barry Bonds bobblehead,\u201d Krukow said. \u201cIsn\u2019t that a cool story?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s understandable why Ohtani would want a Bonds bobblehead\u2014the guy&#8217;s a legend of the sport. But, the way he went about securing one was pretty funny. <\/p>\n<p>Ohtani walked away with two wins on Saturday. The Dodgers won 2-1 over the Giants, and the pitcher\/designated hitter got his bobblehead.<\/p>\n<p>More MLB on Sports Illustrated<\/p>\n<p>This article was originally published on www.si.com as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/shohei-ohtani-take-home-barry-bonds-bobblehead-giants-game?utm_source=RSS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Shohei Ohtani Made Sure to Take Home a Barry Bonds Bobblehead After Giants Game<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani reacts to a hit. | Darren Yamashita-Imagn Images Shohei Ohtani took&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":179529,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2408],"tags":[5,5965,19356,162,19360,19354,4,169,19357,19355,19358,378,66,4343,4340,4344,4341,4342,19359,6984],"class_list":{"0":"post-179528","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-francisco-giants","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-breaking-news","10":"tag-daily-news","11":"tag-giants","12":"tag-global-news","13":"tag-inkl","14":"tag-mlb","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-news-app","17":"tag-news-headlines","18":"tag-news-today","19":"tag-san-francisco","20":"tag-san-francisco-giants","21":"tag-sanfrancisco","22":"tag-sanfranciscogiants","23":"tag-sf","24":"tag-sf-giants","25":"tag-sfgiants","26":"tag-today-news","27":"tag-world-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/114860572346023270","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179528","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=179528"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179528\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/179529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=179528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=179528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=179528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
