Bobblehead Nights: A Two-Part Historic Celebration
The Gateway Grizzlies are proud to present a special two-night bobblehead series honoring baseball pioneers Hank Thompson and Willard Brown. In 1947, Thompson and Brown made history as the first African American teammates in MLB history. This commemorative series celebrates their legacy, their impact on the game, and their connection to St. Louis baseball history. Attend both nights to collect two separate bobbleheads that combine into one special commemorative piece.
