Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona only had one criticism of the bobblehead likeness of him being handed to fans at Great American Ball Park.
The Francona bobblehead giveaway Aug. 1 marked the second bobblehead produced by the Reds organization, but the first distributed at a home game. A 2025 Francona bobblehead was presented to fans who donated at a certain level to the Reds Community Fund.
The 2026 Francona bobblehead features a manual, four-digit tally counter that allows fans to keep up with the future-Hall-of-Fame manager’s career wins, a number that stood at 2,085 entering play Aug. 1 against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
“That (expletive) ain’t moving quick enough,” Francona said.
Francona said he hadn’t studied the bobblehead closely, acknowledging that a box of them had been delivered to his office at the ballpark, adding he hadn’t seen it.
