The same company that brought the sports world Bobbleheads is now bringing Babooshkah dolls to fans. Bensussen Deutsch and Associates introduced the Russian-inspired stacking doll at the May 9 Texas Rangers game against the Cleveland Indians. The first 25,000 fans at Friday's game received the Babooshkah featuring Alex Rodriguez stacked around Juan Gonzalez and Rafael Palmeiro.
A limited number of Babooshkahs tested the waters of the NBA at a recent Memphis Grizzlies game where the first 5,000 were given away as fast as fans could enter the stadium. They have already appeared on eBay.
