Mariners fans were confused AF today after a manufacturing mix-up ahead of Adam Frazier Bobblehead Night instead sent attendees home with a figurine of 90s Seattle sitcom character Frasier Crane.
“Some guy from the Mariners’ promotion team called me and said ‘I need 10,000 Frazier bobbleheads’, how am I supposed to know he didn’t mean the erudite radio psychiatrist from the beloved sitcom in the 90’s?” said local toy manufacturer Terry McClane. “I don’t see the problem, the kids these days all still love Frasier, right? I’m sure they’re probably all singing ‘tossed salads and scrambled eggs’ on their little TikToks right now.”
While the mistake left Mariners staff scrambling, at least one child was positively thrilled with his new Frasier Crane bobblehead.
“When I heard about the promotion, I immediately petitioned my parents to acquire tickets post-haste,” said ten-year old Frasier superfan Cecil Solomon, sipping chamomile tea from a novelty batting helmet. “I feared I might be left disappointed like last year when ‘Edgar Funko Pop Night’ turned out to be in honor of some designated baseball walloper rather than the macabre wordsmith Edgar Allen Poe. But to my delight, this time my persistence was rewarded with this whimsical facsimile of my favorite fictional psychiatrist! Now if they could only do something about these dreadful bleacher seats, which usher do I need to bribe to be shown to an Eames chaise lounge?”
While Mariners staff apologized for the error, they noted that the manufacturing blunder thankfully wasn’t as bad as the infamous ‘Big Unit Night’ in 1997, when pitcher Randy Johnson was accidentally honored with boxes of giant dildos shipped to the Kingdome.
