CHICAGO — Following a season in which the Chicago White Sox qualified for their second consecutive postseason berth for the first time in franchise history, a new wave of merchandise has caught fan attention. From the Southside-branded city jerseys that the Sox have worn throughout the year and gained immediate popularity with fans, to burgers named after Sox players and a host of other souvenirs, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame is jumping into the game. The Milwaukee-based Bobblehead Hall unveiled figurines of Sox stars Jose Abreu, Yoan Moncada and Luis Robert on Thursday — just in time for the Sox to begin play in the American League Division Series in Houston. Each one of the limited-edition bobbleheads will be numbered and quantities are limited to 2,021 bobbleheads. The bobbleheads sell for $40 each plus an $8 shipping fee. The bobbleheads, which are manufactured by FOCO, bear the likeliness of Abreu – the reigning American League MVP – who traveled to Houston despite still feeling the effects of illness that is not COVID-19-related, the team said Wednesday. The other two bobbleheads pay homage to Moncada and Robert, both of whom factor into the Sox's chances of knocking off the Astros and advancing to the American League Championship Series. The Hall of Fame also offers other Sox-related bobbleheads, but the new additions are expected to be popular giving the team's success this season. "White Sox fans are excited for their team to be back in the ALDS, and we know they're going to enjoy these bobbleheads featuring three of their biggest stars," National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said in a news release. "The riding bobblehead series has been extremely popular and these three bobbleheads make a great addition to that collection which also includes several Bears and Cubs players."
