The Los Angeles Dodgers began the 2025 season with 21 planned bobblehead games at Dodger Stadium on their giveaways schedule, but Clayton Kershaw was absent from the list.
Among the Dodgers bobbleheads scheduled for 2025 were Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki, Tommy Edman, Ice Cube, Blake Treinen, Joe Davis, Shohei Ohtani and Kobe Bryant.
But back in July, the Dodgers announced that Kershaw was added to the 2025 Dodgers bobbleheads schedule for 2025, with the detail that it is going to pay tribute to his 3,000 career strikeouts milestone.
The design of the bobblehead had not been revealed until this week.

It features Kershaw in his signature mid-delivery pose, with 3,000 strikeouts signage behind him.
Kershaw became the 20th pitcher in MLB history with 3,000 career strikeouts, just the fourth left-hander to achieve the feat and the first Dodgers pitcher. He accomplished this feat against the Chicago White Sox on July 2.
The moment was celebrated on the field, with fans treating Kershaw to a standing ovation that lasted nearly six minutes. The team also played a tribute video and Kershaw emerged from the dugout for a final curtain call before play resumed.
It was his ninth start of the season after missing the Dodgers’ first 86 games while recovering from offseason toe and knee surgeries.
When is Clayton Kershaw bobblehead night at Dodger Stadium?
The Clayton Kershaw bobblehead giveaway at Dodger Stadium is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 20, when the Dodgers host the San Francisco Giants. The first 40,000 ticketed fans in attendance will receive one, while supplies last at their point of entry.
Kershaw’s bobblehead is part of three consecutive giveaways on the Dodgers’ schedule. It begins with Tyler Glasnow bobblehead night (Sept. 18) and includes a Davis bobblehead night (Sept. 19).
Davis was a part of the original schedule rollout, but at one point it appeared the Dodgers removed his bobblehead from their promotional calendar. However, it wound up simply being rescheduled for Sept. 19.
The Kershaw bobblehead is the last giveaway item planned on the Dodgers’ promotional schedule for the 2025 season.
