Collectible of the Week: Larry Shenk Bobble Head
Former Public Relations Director, Larry Shenk, known as "The Baron", was honored by the Phillies in 2007. At a dinner celebrating his 44th year with the team, attendees were presented with this one-of-a-kind keepsake.
The bobble head features Shenk in business casual wear, holding a notebook with his trademark headline, "Newsy Notes" in one hand and a pipe in the other. The "sponsor nameplate" at his feet reads: Phillies. Never intended for public consumption, this is a pretty rare find - though, patient collectors will find them on eBay or Facebook Marketplace for around $75-100 from time-to-time.
