Bobbleheads in sports were originally used as promotional products by Major League Baseball teams in the 1960s and were created using paper-mache, but a big surge in popularity occurred in the late-1990s. The more modern style blew up when the San Francisco Giants gave away Willie Mays ceramic bobbleheads in 1999. In the years that followed the design was used to create all sorts of people in popular culture.
The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum officially opened in 2016 and National Bobblehead Day in the US was first declared on Jan. 7, 2015. Sadly, Canada does not yet have an officially recognized National Bobblehead Day.
