'Chipper rescues Freddie' bobblehead arrives Saturday

It's finally here Saturday.

The Braves, who peppered the final season at Turner Field with some wacky promotions, will hand out what could become the most desirable collector item yet: The "Chipper rescues Freddie" bobblehead.

You can get yours if you're among the early arrivals at Turner Field when the Braves host the Miami Marlins for a 4:10 p.m. game. The first 20,000 fans will receive one bobblehead upon entry while supplies last.

The bobblehead immortalizes the January 2014 snowstorm when Chipper Jones took to his ATV to retrieve Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman who was stuck in the snowy traffic jam.
