To whom it may concern:

Hi, my name is Doug Dixon. I’ve attended somewhere in the neighborhood of 125-150 Dodgers games since moving to Los Angeles in 2005 which translates, estimating conservatively, to just a shade below 30 games per season. I bleed blue, at least in a figurative way. Throughout those four and a half years I have amassed quite a collection of bobbleheads, seen in the picture I recently posted on Twitter (http://yfrog.com/ne1mqj). It’s quite the conversation starter and I feel it really ties my living room together.

I attended last Tuesday’s game against the Giants, now commonly referred to as the “Mattingly game.” As you know, it was also James Loney bobblehead night. You can probably guess that I was more than excited to pick up a Loney bobblehead or as I like to refer to as “Lil Loney.” Unfortunately, I opened the box for the bobblehead when I got home to discover, much to my horror, that Lil Loney’s leg had been broken in several places. As you can see in this photo I posted on Twitter (http://yfrog.com/3ujf2xj), it looks like Lil Loney might have taken a bit of a spill on his way to me.

Is there any way I could get a replacement for Lil Loney? It would mean a lot to me and my ball club which, as you can see in the team photo, is sorely lacking a quality first baseman. I am more than willing to cover the retail price and shipping for a replacement Lil Loney if need be.

Thank you for your consideration, and Go Blue!
