Former Braves second baseman Glenn Hubbard's famed 1984 baseball card will be immortalized with its own bobblehead.

Hubbard, who played for the Braves for nearly a decade starting in 1978, was featured in a Fleer card with an 8-foot boa constrictor draped around his neck.

The Lexington (Ky.) Legends, the Single-A affiliate of the Kansas City Royals, will be giving 1,000 fans the most awesome of memorabilia on June 24.
