Talking Bobbleheads & Broadcasters | MLB News

The Corpus Christi Hooks are handing out 2,000 talking bobbleheads of play-by-play announcer Michael Coffin — yes, his last name is Coffin — for “Día de los Hooks,” a fun twist on Día de los Muertos that’s also a clever nod to his surname. Partnered with a local funeral home, the promotion blends humor and heart, with Coffin himself thrilled by the tribute — even recording a signature home run call for the bobblehead’s audio. Fans are loving it, and he’s struggling to put into words how touched he is. Meanwhile, the Portland Sea Dogs are doing something similar for their Women in Sports Night, proving broadcasters are getting their moment in the minor league spotlight.
