The most recent...independent baseball team, the Florence Freedom.
Late Thursday night, the team announced that they'll be holding a "Manti Te'o Girlfriend Bobblehead Day".
On May 23, the first 1000 fans will get an empty bobblehead box, a section in the stands will be blocked and reserved only for fans to sit with their imaginary friends, girlfriends/boyfriends or spouses. Also, there's going to be a make pretend kiss cam, air guitar contest and an imaginary food fight outside the Airheads Kids Zone.
"There's not a lot to do to get attention in January," Freedom general manager Josh Anderson told ESPN. "You have to find some way to get the buzz."
I get it, but will anyone even care about this story in February...much less four months from now?
