I WANT ONE
Rays give away ZimBears
There have been many bobblehead night and giveaways that have been popular around the league, but Friday night's "ZimBear" promotion in Tampa Bay may have surpassed them all. At the very least, it will be giving rival teams nightmares. The Tampa Bay Rays gave away 10,000 ZimBears to fans on Friday night, in honor of the team's bench coach Don Zimmer. While Red Sox...

Don Zimmer meets the Zim Bear

Until then, we're stuck hearing about zany story after zany story about the Rays' various promotions and giveaways. We may have a new leader in the clubhouse, however, at least when it comes to the creepy factor. Yahoo's Big League Stew blog points out that the Rays will give...
FURRY FRIEND
Rays giving away Don Zimmer bear
Good Lord, even that thing would scare the living daylights out of Pedro Martinez. According to @lozotweets, who originally unleashed this freakish plush beast on the masses (by way of Sports Grid), “Zim Bear” will be given away at some Tampa Bay Rays home game at some point this season, presumably to frighten off the [...]
