The New York Yankees will have a bobblehead night Friday for their assistant to the traveling secretary, better known as George Costanza.
The character in the hit show "Seinfeld," played by Jason Alexander, is having his own bobblehead giveaway for Seinfeld night. The show's first episode aired July 5, 1989.
The first 18,000 fans to the Yankees' matchup against the Boston Red Sox will receive the bobblehead. The figurine includes Costanza in his batting stance while wearing a dress shirt and pants combination.
Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle... Costanza?!?

Costanza's stance comes from a famous Season 8 episode of "Seinfeld" titled "The Abstinence." Costanza gives tips to Derek Jeter and Bernie Williams, telling them: "hitting is not about muscle. It's simple physics."
As he smashes a home run, Jeter asks: "Who are you again?" to which Costanza replies with "George Costanza. Assistant to the Traveling Secretary."
The episode is one of the highest rated in the show's history on IMDB.
