Growing up in Baltimore during the Angelos Era, I am often really surprised when the Orioles do something right. However, their marketing team might have done it this year. When I was younger, the Orioles struggled making worthwhile promotions but starting in the mid 2000's, the promotions started to really pick up. One of the more novel ideas they pursued at the time (2006) was making interlocking bobbleheads that produced an image. The Orioles decided to exploit the famous long high five gesture of Brian Roberts and Melvin Mora by making two bobbleheads that when put toghether, look like they are interacting:

It was a great idea at the time, and was really popular that year. Well the Orioles are trying something similar this year. Next week they are starting a three month promotion where they will give away Reimold, Jones, and Markakis bobbleheads that when put together create the Orioles outfield. Now they don't interact like the Roberts/Mora, but it still looks pretty cool:

Sorry the image is so small, I have had a hard time finding a larger image.
