Bobbleheads & Giveaways
Once again in 2017, the Snappers will be handing out three bobbleheads featuring Beloit players from the past. One of these will feature former Beloit Brewer Chris Bosio, currently the pitching coach of the 2016 World Series Champion Chicago Cubs. Bosio played in Beloit in 1983-84 and had a rehab assignment in 1990. He owns the franchise record for strikeouts (229) and complete games (14). The first bobblehead of 2017 will be on Father's Day featuring Bruce Maxwell. He played on Beloit's first team affiliated with the Oakland Athletics in 2013 and reached the Majors last July. Renato Nunez will be the final bobblehead of the year, who also played for Beloit in 2013 and made his Major League debut with the Athletics last season.
