In the picture above, you see a recent headshot of Mariners third baseman Adrian Beltre. On the right, you see the bobblehead of Beltre the Mariners gave away at Friday’s game versus the Washington Nationals.

As you can see, Beltre, being a Dominican Republic native, is black. His bobblehead, on the other hand, looks not-so-black. The doll looks like he’s white with a tan. (For those of you who are true Seattle natives, a “tan” is what happens to your skin when you spend time in the “sun.” Now the “sun” is a mass of incandescent gas….)

Is this just a sign of how badly the Mariners have managed to mismanage this season that they make one of their star player’s bobbleheads look like he’s from Dallas, not the Dominican?
