Dustin Ackley Bobblehead Night at Safeco Field was thrown a little bit of a curveball. That's because the doll's human likeness, the one and only Ackley, wasn't actually in the starting lineup Friday for the Mariners. Ackley had played in 45 of the team's first 47 games and had not been given a day off since being named the team's leadoff hitter three weeks ago. (Seattle Times)
