Nora Roberts has sold over 294 million books, writes at a clip of a book a month, and has set up shop permanently on the New York Times Bestseller List. Certainly such achievements should be honored, and in the only way Americans know how: bobble head dolls.

Yesterday was officially Nora Roberts Day in the small burg of Hagerstown, Maryland. The Washington County hamlet will honor their local girl done good with at a Hagerstown Suns baseball game, during which 1,000 commemorative edition bobble head dolls will be passed out to lucky fans. Roberts, who likes to attend as many Suns games as her hectic schedule allows, will throw out the first pitch.

If that wasn’t enough, it was also Robert’s wedding anniversary. How about that?
