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.

Hubbard, who was the Braves' first base coach from 1999 to 2010 under manager Bobby Cox, is now a bench coach at Lexington.

Lexington will face the Hagerstown Suns (an affiliate of the Washington Nationals) that Friday evening. Meanwhile, the Braves will face the N.Y. Mets at Turner Field. You'll see fireworks there.
