The Orioles are giving you the bobblehead you want this season.

The club held a vote last season, with J.J. Hardy edging Robert Andino, Mark Reynolds, Jake Arrietta and Tommy Hunter. Andino and Reynolds left the club this offseason.

The Orioles always seem to find headlines with bobblehead giveaways.

Brian Roberts was a little blue when his bobblehead first arrived in 2006, and in 2011, a Brian Matusz bobblehead giveaway took place shortly after the struggling lefty had been demoted to the minors. In 2010, Nolan Reimold was also with Class AAA Norfolk on the night his bobbling likeness was given to fans at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

The luck seemed to turn last year, though. The fans picked Hardy, and he won a Gold Glove.
