(CBS) As the guys were talking about on the Boers and Bernstein Show this afternoon, here’s a look at the Babe Ruth bobblehead that the Cubs are giving away Friday when they host the Brewers.
On 5/16, #Cubs are giving away this "called-shot" Babe Ruth doll. But it looks absolutely nothing like Babe Ruth. http://t.co/KEqHjWtwtB

Dan Bernstein (@dan_bernstein) May 12, 2014As part of the 100-year celebration of Wrigley Field, the promotion is commemorating Ruth’s “Called Shot” homer in the 1932 World Series that helped the Yankees to a pivotal win and eventual championship. Celebrating a foe’s win is a somewhat perplexing giveaway to begin with, but Bernstein was more worked up about something else.
Why, he asked, does the bobblehead look more like Anthony Rizzo than Babe Ruth?
