(Trenton, NJ) -- Your Trenton Thunder, presented by NJM Insurance Group, are thrilled to announce a special bobblehead giveaway honoring former Thunder standout, Kyle Higashioka, on Thursday, August 7th at 7:00 PM at Trenton Thunder Ballpark.

The first 1,000 fans aged 13 and over through the gates will receive a commemorative bobblehead of the current Major League catcher, who proudly wore the Thunder uniform during his time in the Yankees organization. This exciting promotion is made possible thanks Hyundai Motor America, a longtime Thunder partner, which has presented other player bobbleheads such as Brett Gardner, Mark Teixeira, and Dellin Betances.

"Kyle Higashioka is a beloved figure in Trenton Thunder history, and we're excited to celebrate his accomplishments with this special giveaway," said Thunder General Manager Jon Bodnar. "We know our fans will be eager to add this unique bobblehead to their collection while enjoying a night of Thunder baseball."
