The “Summer of George 3.0” is underway.
For the third straight season, the New York Yankees are giving away “Seinfeld”-inspired George Costanza bobbleheads.
This year, they’ll be handing out 18,000 tiny Jason Alexander statuettes — where he’ll likely be polishing off a calzone — on Thursday, Aug. 27 when Aaron Judge’s Bronx Bombers go toe-to-toe with Yordan Alvarez’s Houston Astros.
As “Seinfeld” fans may recall, George’s infamous run-in with the Italian delicacy comes from the Season 7 episode “The Calzone” where he accidentally gets his boss George Steinbrenner (voiced by Larry David) hooked on the folded pizza.
A minute into the episode, Steinbrenner asks Costanza “what is that you’re eating there? It looks pretty tasty?” before having his underling hand his lunch over.
“Big Stein wants a little taste” he adds before taking a sizable bite of the meal that comes complete with cheese, pepperoni and eggplant.
If you’d like to get a taste of your very own Costanza calzone bobblehead, tickets are available for the late August, dog days of summer contest.
Better yet, they’re surprisingly cheap.
At the time of publication, we found seats going for as low as $41 including fees on SeatGeek.
100-level seats start at $98 including fees.
In the event “Seinfeld” isn’t your thing, the Yankees have a number of other exciting giveaways coming up these next few months.
Personally, we’re most excited about the Aaron Judge MVP bobblehead (June 20), Cody Bellinger bobblehead (Aug. 21) and Josh Hart bobblehead (Sept. 25).
Also, we’d be absolutely remiss if we didn’t mention that other than the Pinstripers playing well this season, fans are lining up for the $10.99 ice cream fried chicken bucket at games.
“…what looks like a pair of fried chicken drumsticks is actually ice cream with a chocolate-covered cookie ‘bone’ center with a coating of white chocolate and candied corn flakes to give it that fried chicken look [and] is served in a souvenir mini ‘chicken’ bucket,” MLB.com reports.
Need a calzone bobblehead…and maybe an ice cream fried chicken bucket too?
We’re here to help.
