The Boston Red Sox had no choice but to nix a David Ortiz bobblehead giveaway after the items they were planning to hand out arrived looking worse than the Pablo Sandoval contract.





At best, it's a bad.





At worst, it's, well, inappropriate--but also really, really bad.

The first 15,000 fans in attendance were supposed to receive the Big Papi bobbleheads, but thankfully they'll all be spared from having anything to do with these abominations. Can you imagine having this thing staring at you from your desk at work or the dresser in your bedroom? That's the kind of thing nightmares are made of--especially if you value bobblehead craftsmanship. Or you're a Yankees fan.





The Red Sox announced the decision and said they'll issue new bobbleheads at a later date.

If the big numbers Ortiz is putting up aren't enough to make him want to come back and play another season, maybe Bobbleheadgate will.





He's had way too good of a career to end it on a promotional giveaway that's this bad.
