The Braves' wacky promotions on Turner Field's final season continues with the last two bobblehead offerings of the year.

The 2000 All-Star Game at Turner Field, you remember it? Chipper hit a homer off the White Sox's James Baldwin in the third inning to become the 13th  player to hit an All-Star home run in his home ballpark. 

A fix will, hopefully, be in place by the time of the Sept. 10 giveaway.
