Yankees' George Costanza bobblehead presales going for more than tickets to that day's game
Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle…Costanza?! Some Yankees fans are apparently just as fervent about iconic 'Seinfeld' character George Costanza as they are for the team's legends, as pre-sale prices for the bobblehead of Costanza sleeping under his Yankees office desk are going for more than tickets to the Aug. 21 game when they'll be given to the first 18,000 fans. Advertisement As of Tuesday morning, there were multiple sold listings on eBay for the bobblehead for over $200 and as high as $250. Meanwhile, tickets for that day's game against the Red Sox can be had for as low as $50 on StubHub. The bobblehead depicts Costanza sleeping under his desk in the Season 8 episode 'The Nap,' and features the quote, 'I love a good nap. Sometimes it's the only thing getting me out of bed in the morning.'

The summer of George hits Yankee Stadium with Costanza nap bobblehead on ‘Seinfeld Night'
It's once again going to be the summer of George at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees announced Thursday that the first 18,000 fans at the team's Aug. 21 matchup against the Red Sox will get a bobblehead of George Costanza sleeping under his desk at former owner George Steinbrenner's office as a part of 'Seinfeld Night' at the stadium. The former Yankees assistant to the traveling secretary on the long-running sitcom is depicted in the bobblehead sleeping on the job, a reference to 'Seinfeld's' Season 8 episode 'The Nap.' Advertisement The Yankees are hosting Seinfeld Night on August 21 and giving away this bobblehead of George Costanza sleeping under George Steinbrenner's desk MLB/X Above the Costanza figurine is one of his quotes from the episode, 'I love a good nap. That's the only thing getting me out of bed in the morning.' Advertisement In the episode, Costanza, played by Jason Alexander, transforms his desk's underbelly into a sleeping area fit with an alarm clock and space for a blanket and cup holder with the help of a handyman. 'This is better than my bed at home,' Costanza, played by Jason Alexander, said once it's complete. Just when he tries to test out his new office sleeping area, Steinbrenner, voiced by Larry David, comes in looking for Costanza, which prompts him to phone Jerry Seinfeld to make an emergency call to get the Yankees owner out of the building. The Yankees also gave away a George Costanza bobblehead last season. Seinfeld/YouTube Advertisement This is not the first time the Yankees have released a bobblehead of Costanza, with the team handing out a figurine of him against the Red Sox last season that showed stars Derek Jeter and Bernie Williams the simple physics of hitting. That bobblehead, which was handed out on July 5, 2024, is a reference from another Season 8 episode titled 'The Abstinence,' in which Costanza is seen hitting batting practice in a shirt and tie. As he blasts a homer during the episode, Jeter asks: 'Who are you again?' to which Costanza replies: 'George Costanza, Assistant to the Traveling Secretary.' Fans lined up for the previous bobblehead four hours ahead of first pitch.
