Long lines form outside Dodger Stadium hours ahead of Shohei Ohtani's 2nd bobblehead night
LOS ANGELES - It's Sho-Time!
The Los Angeles Dodgers are prepared for the second of two Shohei Ohtani bobblehead giveaways, and the team previously teased a special limited edition of the new figurine.
A photo posted to social media showed the lines began forming outside Dodger Stadium at 11 a.m., hours ahead of the 7:10 p.m. game.
SkyFOX flew over the scene around 1:45 p.m. and showed the line wrapping about the stadium's entrance.
The team is set to give away bobbleheads at Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles, featuring the Japanese star and his dog, Decoy. The team shared the design back in June. It shows Ohtani in the Dodger whites, holding his pup.
But the Dodgers' official X account on Thursday shared an image of an alternate, entirely gold version of the bobblehead.
The post read, "Gold Shohei and Decoy bobbleheads? Be ready for 8/28."

The Dodgers did something similar during the first Shohei Ohtani bobblehead night on May 16. Of the 40,000 bobbleheads distributed that night, 1,700 showed Ohtani in the Dodgers away gray uniform, while the rest of the bobbleheads featured the newest member of the 40/40 club in their home white jerseys.
It's not clear how many golden bobbleheads may be given out at Wednesday's game.

The night of the first giveaway was a wild scene at Dodger Stadium. The promotion led to massive sprawling lines zigzagging throughout the many parking lots, and massive traffic backups in the area several hours before the first pitch.
The limited gray versions of the first bobblehead are still being listed on sites like eBay for upwards of $1,000 in some cases.
Tickets are still available for Wednesday's game on the Dodgers' website, with prices ranging between $131 and $2,538.
