Ah, didn't realize it was a new thing--maybe my bobblehead guess is right. (Maybe the Jays will mix things up and make it a Pigpen bobblehead.)
I can't pronounce Aoxomoxoa either, but I do like it.

Lol I might have to start saying "ahhg-ZON-dra".
If I could only pick one release I'd probably go for Steppin' Out, the comp of UK material from the Europe 72 tour. Studio, either American Beauty or Anthem of the Sun.

Agree that Steppin' Out is very fine - beautiful version of Comes a Time, red hot Greatest Story Ever Told etc. I also really like the 71 Fillmore East comp, Ladies and Gentleman ... the Grateful Dead, especially the whole of disc three.
Years ago, Dave Gibbons told me he referenced Aoxomoxoa in issue five of Watchmen because the whole comic is filled with palindromes, doubles, mirror images etc. You can just about make it out on the first and last panel of this page:

Our local AA team - the Bowie Baysox - has been doing Grateful Dead nights in the past few years as well.

Lots of potential for overlap between Dead and baseball audiences - long, boring-to-outsiders events in huge stadiums with the possibility of nerding out over deep minutia and stats.
