It doesn't take an astrophysicist to figure out space exploration is a big deal at Rocket City. The Double-A franchise that makes its home in Madison, Ala., just outside of Huntsville — the historical home for rocketry research and development in the United States as well as NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. Among the innumerable ways the Trash Pandas celebrate this stellar heritage is a between-innings astronaut race, which last year featured a new entry — Mae, in an apparent homage to Mae Jemison, who in 1992 became the first African-American woman to travel in space. The Mae bobblehead lands on June 23.

Other racers include Sally, Buzz and Neil, who in 2022 were also bobblehead giveaways:
