CALIFORNIA BRIEFING / LOS ANGELES
President Obama bobbleheads that are supposed to be given away at a minor-league baseball game apparently haven’t gotten the nod from customs officials.
The West Virginia Power Class A baseball team said Thursday that 1,000 of the figures have been held up at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection warehouse in Los Angeles since May 20.
A U.S. Customs spokeswoman in Los Angeles said she didn’t have more information on why they were stalled.
The bobbleheads are a likeness of Obama in his high school basketball uniform and are part of Saturday’s theme of fitness and healthy lifestyles.
