It’s the crossover that was always meant to happen: Pittsburgh sports and HBO’s smash series The Pitt. Not only does the medical series showcase the brutal job of medical workers, but it helps when everyone in the show loves Pittsburgh so much they’re all repping little bits of Pirates, Steelers, or Penguins merch.
The Pirates are giving out Dr. Robby bobbleheads from ‘The Pitt’
A must-have for any fan of ‘The Pitt.
Now, as part of “Yinzerpalooza Weekend,” the Pirates are rolling out their own Dr. Robby bobbleheads, styled after Noah Wyle’s iconic character in the show. I say “styled after,” because to say this is Dr. Robby is a bit of a stretch.
Making bobbleheads look good is difficult so I’ll give some grace because it actually looks a little like Noah Wyle — but not really enough like Noah Wyle to look at the bobble head and say “hey, that’s Noah Wyle.” In case you need a little tester on this uncanny valley I have created a composite to show that the bobblehead isn’t quite right.
The least the bobblehead manufacturers could have done was put Robby in his iconic hoodie.
