Ryan Zimmerman (the pride of Virginia Beach, my hometown) returned to the Nationals lineup tonight in Miami, so I figured what better time to giveaway my spare Ryan Zimmerman Bobblehead I picked up at the Cubs game in June. This sucker is still in the box (the one out of the box above is my other one) and ready to be claimed by one of my tens of readers.
Ryan Zimmerman has the bat that makes the Nats offense kick into high gear and the arm that can single-handedly sabotage a game.
He’s won two Silver Sluggers, a Gold Glove and been named an All Star. He’s missed 158 games since the start of the 2010 season, including 45 this year.
He’s a selfless teammate, who transitioned to LF for 26 games this season after never playing the position professionally. He’s also the reluctant 3rd baseman who may be trusted upon in crucial October moments at a position he seems ready to leave permanently.
