Go for Kuo

Hong-Chih Kuo bobblehead 郭泓志搖頭公仔

50,000 Taiwanese pitcher Hong-Chih Kuo's bobbleheads will be given away on June 14 when the Dodgers is hosting Cincinnati Reds.

As part of the renewal partnership with the Taiwan Tourism Bureau for the 2011 season, Dodgers will highlight Hong-Chih Kuo bobblehead promotion on June 14, follow by Taiwan Community Night on August 13.

The bobblehead was unveiled at Dodgers Stadium yesterday by Dodgers Chief Revenue Officer Michael Young and Taiwan Tourism Bureau Director Trust Lin. They were joined by third base coach Tim Wallach, pitcher Kenley Jansen and third baseman Russell Mitchell.

Jansen, Mitchell and Wallach were among the members of the team when the Dodgers made a historic trip to Taiwan for a series against the Chinese Professional League (CPBL) last year. They were amazed by delicious Taiwanese food at night markets and the landmark skyscraper - Taipei 101.

Dodgers was awarded the Taiwan Tourism Award presented by Wu Den-Yih, the Taiwanese Premier. In return, the tourism bureau was gifted with a number 100 Dodgers jersey, to commemorate Taiwan's 100th anniversary.

想要拿到全球限量5萬隻的郭泓志搖頭公仔，就不要錯過6月 14日洛杉磯道奇與辛辛那提紅人的比賽嚕。

台灣觀光局與道奇異業結盟推觀光進入第3年，今年率先登場的好戲是6月 14日的郭泓志搖頭公仔日。目前小小郭因焦慮症被列入傷兵名單，希望他趕快好起來，到時可以看到他登場與自己的公仔一起「搖頭」。

觀光局駐洛主任林信任與道奇營運長楊邁克在記者會上，秀出了這隻可愛「Q」版的搖頭公仔（可惜當天也沒有送給媒體，大家都要等到6月 14日才能搶到）。另外，也會在8月 13日舉行道奇台灣夜，屆時坐在專區的球迷，可以獲得限量版的台灣道奇毛毯，並發放2萬張郭泓志海報。

為肯定雙方合作，道奇隊日前獲行政院長吳敦義頒發「觀光貢獻獎」；而作為回禮，道奇隊特製了一件繡上「Taiwan 100」的球衣，將「旅行台灣，感動100」的精神傳達給所有球迷。

道奇三壘教練Tim Wallach、投手Kenley Jansen、三壘手Russell Mitchell也出席了記者會。三人去年隨道奇隊前往台灣與中華職棒進行比賽。他們非常喜歡台灣夜市的美食，並對台北101留下深刻印象。
