NASHVILLE (BP) — Bobblehead dolls moved into the biblical realm with a minor league baseball team’s giveaway of Old Testament heroes Moses, Samson and Noah for a “Faith Night” series this season.

At the June 4 Faith Night, the first 2,000 fans entering Greer Stadium, home of the AAA Nashville Sounds, received a caricature-type representation of Moses carrying the two tablets of the Ten Commandments. Fans at the July 30 Faith Night received a bobblehead of the muscular Samson wearing a “God’s Gym” T-shirt, while fans at the Aug. 27 Faith Night received a Noah bobblehead holding a closed umbrella.
