Satchel Paige Kansas City A’s and Mystery Bobblehead Boxes Unveiled to Commemorate Birthday

Today, to commemorate Satchel Paige’s birthday which is on Sunday, we’re giving fans two special Satchel Paige Bobblehead opportunities. The first is the opportunity to purchase the Satchel Paige Kansas City A’s Rocking Chair Bobblehead from the recent Oakland A’s bobblehead promotion and the second is the opportunity to purchase a Satchel Paige Mystery Bobblehead Box.

• The Satchel Paige Kansas City A’s Bobblehead is available in the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store at this link and the Mystery Bobblehead Boxes are available at this link.
• The Kansas City A’s Bobblehead is $30 and the Mystery Bobblehead Boxes are available with 1 ($20), 3 ($50), or 5 ($75) bobbleheads. There is an $8 flat-rate shipping charge per order.
• Each box contains Satchel Paige Bobbleheads that have been produced by the Museum over the past five years, and fans who purchase multiple boxes will receive unique bobbleheads with a maximum of 15 unique bobbleheads given limited quantities of many of the bobbleheads.
• Satchel Paige was born on July 7, 1906 in Mobile, Alabama, and was one of the greatest stars to play in the Negro Leagues. His illustrious Negro Leagues career spanned 1926 through 1947, and Paige reached the Major Leagues with Cleveland, helping them win the 1948 pennant. In 1971, Paige received the highest honor in baseball with his induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
• The Kansas City A’s Bobblehead celebrates Satchel Paige’s pitching performance at age 59 for the Kansas City A’s against the Boston Red Sox. Paige came out of retirement and pitched three legendary innings. He used the rocking chair because he didn’t want to sit in the below ground dugout saying, “I’m close enough to below the surface as is.”
• The bobbleheads were all produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum in conjunction with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, Dreams Fulfilled, and Satchel Paige’s family.
• “We’re excited to offer fans outside of Oakland the opportunity to purchase the bobblehead commemorating Paige’s remarkable pitching performance with the Kansas City A’s in 1959 as well as a special mystery bobblehead box enabling fans to get some awesome bobbleheads of Satchel at a great price,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “Satchel’s bobbleheads have been the most popular in our Negro Leagues bobblehead collection, and we thought this was the perfect way to commemorate his birthday.”
