Greg Bird gets his own SWB bobblehead
Although Greg Bird is out for all of 2016 with an injured wing (pun very much intended) he'll still be somewhat in attendance at PNC Field on June 3 when the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Railriders will give away a bobblehead in his honor. It might just be the greatest bobblehead of all-time:

Bird's currently recovering from successful surgery which repaired a torn labrum in his right shoulder. The 22-year-old first baseman filled in nicely last season when Mark Teixeira went down with a broken leg. In just 46 games, Bird hit .261 with 11 homers and 31 RBI. He also committed just one error in 401 chances at first. Now all we need is a bobblehead for Aaron Judge, complete with a robe and gavel.
