Obviously the crown jewels of any promotional schedule are the bobblehead nights, and 2018 will provide fans a chance to get their hands on a few gems. Justin Smoak will have his giveaway against the Yankees on March 31, while J.A. Happ toys will be up for grabs when the Blue Jays face the Detroit Tigers on July 2.
The team will be giving away Marcus Stroman Shimmy Wobble Bobbles (?) on June 6, and a combination bobble featuring Paul Molitor, John Olerud and Roberto Alomar will honour the 25th anniversary of the Blue Jays’ back-to-back World Series titles when the team faces the Rays on Aug. 11.
Some other notable dates include a back-to-back World Series sweatshirt giveaway on April 18, a Kevin Pillar “caped” replica jersey night on Mother’s Day and Star Wars night on Sept. 8.
The Blue Jays open the 2018 season at home against the Yankees on March 29.
