The Washington Nationals planned to give out Jayson Werth bobbleheads to the first 25,000 fans at their game on Sunday, but then wisely made the decision to hold off. The bobblehead was made to portray Werth’s facial expression as he jumped on home plate after hitting a walk-off home run agains the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 4 of the 2012 National League Division Series.
The final product was terrifying and hilarious at the same time.

The video version of the bobblehead in action is even funnier.
Thankfully, the Nationals saved the rest of the world from the horror. The team issued a statement on Twitter on Friday saying they aren’t satisfied with the final product and will not be giving the bobbleheads away after all.
