Caper Verified Member Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Was reading this article. http://www.torontosun.com/2014/05/28/blue-jays-adam-lind-checks-his-ego-for-sake-of-team From the article And it mentioned Lind not ever having a Bobblehead day. Maybe Rogers is too cheap to buy bobbleheads with kick ass goatees.... But he's a guy who deserves one. Quietly having a great offensive year. A reporter inside the Blue Jays clubhouse casually asked Adam Lind if he remembers his Bobblehead Day. “I haven’t had one,” said the longest-serving Jays position player on this year’s team. “I mean, I don’t think I’ve had one,” he added with a laugh. “Because if I did, I’d have it at home.” The Jays have held Bobblehead Days for stars like Roy Halladay and Roberto Alomar and relative newcomers like R.A. Dickey, as well as for guys like Yunel Escobar and J.P. Arencibia. But not Lind. Apparently there was a mini Adam Lind Bobblehead some years back, but not the real thing. Not that Lind is complaining. “I mean, I’m not the most exciting player on this team,” he said, again with his trademark laid back, mid-western chortle. “I don’t even play every day. I don’t make the most money. I platoon now.” I think we should make it out mission to have a Lind Bobblehead day.

Kristine12 Verified Member Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 We started the Facebook page yesterday actually. We read the article yesterday morning and went to the game. As soon as we got home we created it! I found this by accident when googling to discover how accessible our pages were.

Lind has been given a good whipping on here in the past but part of the problem was with management not identifying the proper role for him. He is a team player, loyal, and seems to possess a down to earth personality. I also agree with him in that he could play as a regular on another team although not at a great performance level. I truly wish him success.
