Ah yes good ‘ol Trevor. This is a Trevor Time Desk Clock that was given away at a game in 2007. It has a little button on the front that when pushed it gives off a bell ringing noise and is quite possibly the worst likeness of a player I have ever seen on any stadium giveaway. That game was on April 27th. The opponent….the arch rival Dodgers. What happened you ask? Clay Hensley started and pitched strong into the 7th inning giving up only 2 runs while striking out 5 and leaving with the lead. Cla Merideth comes in and shuts them down for 2/3 of an inning. Scott Linebrink comes in and pitches a scoreless 8th and then who would have thought! Trevor Time on a night where they are giving away Trevor Time clocks!!!! Trevor went on to give up 4 runs, get’s the loss & the blown save & actually gets removed from the game. Padres lose 6-5. Good times indeed!

S.A.M. Gaylord Perry Bobblehead (1996)
July 23, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Well Portland & Seattle were great but I’m back to the scorching heat of San Diego and I’m glad. I was hoping to post more stuff while I was on vacation but had very little internet access so I had to wait until I got back. Over on my other site SDPads_1 I will be posting pictures and stuff from both the recent minor league All-Star games I attended. Anyways back to the good stuff. This item is a S.A.M. (Sports, Accessories & Memorabilia) Gaylord Perry bobble head. To my knowledge it is the only one featuring him in a Padres uniform & is 1 of only 4 Padres bobble heads that S.A.M. made (the others being a pinstriped Gwynn, a solid blue Gwynn & a standard Padre player which looked exactly like the Gwynn one except it didn’t have his name on it). Obviously his stay with the Padres wasn’t that long but the 2 seasons he was here he made his mark. In his first season in San Diego he sported a nifty 21-6 record, a 2.73 ERA & struck out 154 batters on his way to winning the NL Cy Young Award in 1978. In 1979 at the age of 40 he still went on to post a solid 3.06 ERA while making the NL All-Star team but only went 12-11 for a Padres team that finished 68-93. This item is #985 out of 3,000 made with a COA and the original box.
