The giveaway error bug has hit the Tigers, weeks after striking the Rockies when they gave away misspelled Troy “Tulowizki” shirts to fans. The Tigers gave away a Miguel Cabrera bobblehead figurine in which he’s holding his two MVP awards from 2012 and 2013. Only one problem: the awards are labeled National League, rather than American League.
The Freep Sports Twitter account retweeted a few user-submitted photos of the bobbleheads. Here’s one with a clear shot:Oh boy.... Looks like Miguel Cabrera’s bobblehead has him MVP of the National League. #Tigers #Fail @darrenrovell pic.twitter.com/7Si82xbWeA

Whoops.
Update: Forever Collectibles, the company that manufactured the bobbleheads, apologized for the error. Thanks to Matthew Mowery of the Oakland Press for passing this along:
“Forever Collectibles takes full responsibility for this error and we apologize to the fans. We are certainly disappointed this happened.”
