"Several roommates were miffed when 600 bobbleheads bearing the face of a former Padres player mysteriously turned up near their doorstep in University City, San Diego. Now they're resorting to handing them out as party favors. The woman who answered the phone at the San Diego Police Department told Philip Jia it was the strangest call she’d ever received. Jia and a handful of his young 20-something roommates in University City asked if an officer could come out and take a look at the items someone dumped in the middle of their condo complex street. Hundreds of Padres bobbleheads littered the pavement and they all had the same face. 'I’m now a huge Chris Denorfia fan,' said Philip Jia, who along with his roomates had never heard of the former Padres player now sitting in more boxes than they could carry. And so began the great bobblehead mystery of 2015. 'We opened them up expecting to find something a little more nefarious,' Jia said, referring to when they first opened the bobblehead boxes. 'We thought it was from a drug cartel or something,' echoed roommate Jalena Lau. 'But when we went through them, they were just regular bobbleheads.' The police department sent an officer who took a report, but advised the group to simply help out their HOA and clean the mess up. They loaded about half the Denorfia bobbleheads into their apartment, decorating the bedroom of a roommate who wasn’t home and went to bed. They left the rest in the street and by morning they were gone, presumably taken by neighbors." - Luke, Steven.

Chris Denorfia Stats by Baseball Almanac |
On September 28, 2015, Chris Denorfia hit a game-winning pinch-hit home run in the eleventh inning – the first pinch hitter in Major League history to hit a walk-off home run for the only run of the game!
The first pinch-hitter in MLB history to hit a walkoff HR for the only run of an extra-inn. win is…envelope, please.http://t.co/dJ7twIEaNG
— Elias Sports Bureau (@EliasSports) September 29, 2015
Chris Denorfia was the third player in Chicago Cubs history to hit a walk-off home run at Wrigley Field in an extra-inning scorless game. The Cubs - who were not pinch hitters - who came before Chris were Frank Secory (July 6, 1946) and Joe Peptitone (June 8, 1971).
Chris Denorfia ] The Journal & Courier | September 29, 2015Baseball Almanac Research Library
Did you know that Chris Denorfia has "only" hit 41 home runs, yet from that small set, he has already had 14 go-ahead homers, 7 lead-off homers, 3 game-tying homers, 2 walk-off homers (including the history making shot above) and an inside the park home run?
Did you know that Chris Denorfia broke the San Diego Padres single season record for most stolen bases in a year without being caught stealing? In 2013, Denorfia stole eleven bags, and did not get caught once, breaking the mark once held by Desi Relaford, who swiped sight bases in 2000, without getting caught.
On August 5, 2010, Chris Denorfia hit an inside the park home that that bounced approximately five-feet in front of the plate! Though not a record, it certainly might be the shortest inside the park home run ever hit in baseball history!
