Six Epic Cubs Bobblehead Giveaways Set at Wrigley This Season

The Chicago Cubs are starting to build something great on the north side of town.

The team is winning, and it looks like a fun time to head to Wrigley Field, especially if you like to collect bobbleheads.

WHY BOBBLEHEADS ARE SO POPULAR

I don't collect many things, but I enjoy a good bobblehead.

Interestingly, the connection between baseball and bobbleheads has quite a history.

The first mass promotion of bobbleheads occurred during Major League Baseball's World Series.

The bobbleheads were made of paper mache and imported from Japan.

Since then, they have become a significant collectible for baseball fans and picked up steam in the 60s.

Bobbleheads went out of style in the 70s.

Some 20-30 years later, bobbleheads launched back into popularity after the San Francisco Giants created a unique Willie Mays figurine for a 1999 giveaway.

Bobblehead collecting has been big business ever since.
