Today marks 17 years since Andruw Jones climbed onto the Turner Field center field wall and pulled off the "Spider-Man catch."

To commemorate the Aug. 9, 1999, leap, the Braves will be giving away 20,000 bobbleheads that recreate the amazing feat.

The Aug. 18, 2016, giveaway is on the Braves' wacky promotions on the final season of their Atlanta ballpark before they move to their new home in Cobb County.

The ad spot -- posted to social media by the Braves -- includes two darling kids excited to make this bobblehead fly, swim and do just about anything.
