The Pittsburgh Pirates will honor the Mac Miller with his very own bobblehead, and their promo video is making fans emotional.
On Thursday, May 15, Mac's favorite MLB team announced its plan to pay tribute to the late Pittsburgh native with a bobblehead night during the Pirates' upcoming game against the Chicago White Sox. The Pirates gave a preview of Mac's bobblehead in a video full of testimonies from die-hard fans, including Pittsburgh outfielder Andrew McCutchen, who cherishes the Swimming rapper's music.
"[Mac Miller] is a Pittsburgh guy through and through," McCutchen said. "That's what made people love him so much."

The bobblehead looks just like Mac dressed in a Pirates jersey with the team's "412" area code on it. He also rocks a black, yin-yang baseball cap while showing off his signature "Most Dope" hand tattoos.
Mac Miller was a lifelong Pirates fan. He had a notable tattoo of the team's "P" logo on his hand, and even threw out the first pitch at their game against the Cincinnati Reds in 2015. Of course, he also namedropped the team in several songs like "Break The Law" from his 2015 album GO:OD AM, in which he spits he's "The best thing out of Pittsburgh since Clemente with the Pirates."
Per TMZ, the bobbleheads will be available to the first 20,000 fans who enter PNC Park on Saturday, July 19. Get a close-up of Mac Miller's bobblehead below.
