Open Thread: Suggestion Box (Giveaways and Locations of JBox's whereabouts)

I dunno what happened to jbox. Should we send out a search party? Maybe he quit the blog.
In any case, let's think of something to do, like together, as a group. My suggestion: Suggestions!
Here's what I'm figuring. I haven't seen a finalized list of giveaways for next season's giveaway games. Let's come up with some and vote for our favorites via Recs. Because they're graded by Recs, put multiple suggestions in multiple comments.
We know Garfinkel is bringing back bobblehead dolls. I'd like to see bobbleheads of not just players, but announcers, ushers, etcetera etcetera.
If you want other things to suggest, suggest places where we can start looking for jbox.

Who isn't showing up for a Kouz Koozie?
Assuming he’s still on the team. I’m 100% serious… the value of a good koozie cannot be overestimated, and you can never have too many.

Bobblehead of a fan
Pick a seat at random, that fan gets a bobblehead doll made in their likeness. Maybe a free game ticket too, so they can bring the bobblehead back and put it on the jumbotron so the fans can see the result. Kind of involved, they’d have to take pictures of the fan then go and make the bobblehead, but hey, if you want to give back to the fans, go all out. Some friends had a Padre bobblehead of me made and it turned out really good. Just once a year, can’t be that expensive.

Manager for the day
They should do this at every home game: Some lucky fan, chosen by a random drawing of seat number, would get to manage the team for the day, along with all the perks and drawbacks that that position involves. Sit in the dugout, custom jersey with your name and seat number, the press debrief after the game, and, if the Padres win, a lifetime subscription to US Weekly.
In the event (likely) that the randomly chosen seat number is vacant, Bud Black would still manage, since that is the nearest approximation of an empty chair available.

Here's one of my favorites
Jeff Moorad beard night. Anyone with a beard gets in for free plus as you walk in all fans without beards are given fake paper beards with string to attach to their face (kind of like how the Uncle Teddy mask was). Just think of how scary that many Moorad beards in one place would be. 1 is scary enough but a whole ballpark full of them is downright terrifying.

I’d be down for a Jerry Coleman and Ted Leitner bobble head set.
What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this blog is now dumber for having listened to it.

On paper
it looks like a good idea. But just think about being at that game and the noise that thousands of whistles would make. It would be worse than a Mexican soccer game and all those damn horns.

How much does each these giveaways costs?
How about do a random drawing and give a fan the $10 – 20K that they would be spending of junk that you don’t want.

I think the giveaways are free or low cost to the team because they're sponsored.
That’s why when you get a cool throwback hat you have to deal with a giant Oggi’s logo on it or something similar. I’m not sure what sponsor would want to spend $20k to reach one potential customer. Although, I’m sure that’s a great way to make a customer for life.

What and give them out to infants?
Because most kids are already the size of Eckstein or bigger so it would be pointless for them to have a chart that they have already outgrown.

I want one
so that I could stand next to it and feel like Chris Young – without the mashed-in face and bum wing
How about a Eckstein mini-bat so that you could swing one that was the same size as the one he uses in the games?
