'The Play' Bobblehead Coming To 2018 Big Game
The Play holds a special place in the history of college football, especially for the California Golden Bears, and this season, fans will have the opportunity to get a unique token to celebrate the moment Cal captured the 1982 Big Game.
Â
A bobblehead commemorating The Play, showing Kevin Moen scoring the winning touchdown, will be distributed to the first 10,000 fans who attend the Nov. 17 matchup between Cal and Stanford in California Memorial Stadium.
Â

Tickets for the 121st Big Game are now on sale through
CalBears.com/tickets or by calling (800) GO BEARS (462-3277) and pressing option 3.
Â
The seven-inch bobblehead features Moen leaping with the ball high in the air with a trombone laying by his side.
Â
Back on Nov. 20, 1982, Cal defeated Stanford in perhaps the most exciting finish in the history of college football. Trailing 20-19 with four seconds remaining after Stanford scored a go-ahead field goal, the Bears used five laterals during a 57-yard kickoff return, with Moen reaching the end zone by running through the Stanford Band. After Moen jumped in celebration, he famously landed on Stanford trombone player Gary Tyrell. Ever since, the game's finish has simply been known as The Play, and a
video of the return has been viewed nearly two million times on YouTube.
Â
The bobblehead is the first offered at a Cal football game since 2016 when fans received a
bobblehead of Marshawn Lynch recreating his postgame golf cart ride following a 2006 victory over Washington.
Â
The Play bobblehead is also the first of several new giveaways, events and promotions that are scheduled for the upcoming football season. Fans should look for additional information to be announced in the coming weeks.
