MILWAUKEE, Wi., December 6, 2017 – – Today, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled a Limited Edition bobblehead commemorating Johns Hopkins University’s nine NCAA Division 1 Men’s Lacrosse National Championships. The bobblehead features Johns Hopkins’ mascot, Jay, holding a lacrosse stick.
