Manny Pacquiao bobblehead doll
|
The Filipino icon, who fights Ricky Hatton on May 2 in Las Vegas, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Giants take on the San Diego Padres as part of the team’s Filipino American Heritage celebration on April 21 in San Francisco. Fans who purchase a $20 Filipino Heritage ticket will receive a Manny Pacquiao bobblehead doll and a seat in the Filipino Heritage section of AT&T Park. The fact Pacquiao the Bobblehead is wearing a Giants uniform can't be pleasing to the large Filipino community in Los Angeles, where both the Dodgers and Pacquiao are based. The fighter trains with Freddie Roach in Hollywood before his fights. Pacquiao and Roach also will make appearances during a cultural festival before the game, which begins at 7:15 p.m. |
