Mauer was added to the SGA bobblehead offerings after the season was in
progress, probably for marketing purposes due to his popularity as a
"local boy" and rising |
|
star. The
only time the team has added a fifth bobble. |

Some collectors argue that the "Friends & Family" Mauer is not,
strictly speaking, an SGA bobblehead. It is included here because it was,
indeed, given away at the |
|
stadium
and falls more easily into no other category. The Mauer family, along with
the Twins, produced this bobble as a special edition in support of the
family's favorite |
|
local
charities. The edition is numbered on the underside of he base and was
limited to 2,500 units. In order to obtain one of these bobbles a person
needed a game ticket, |
|
available
only from the family, upon which was printed "JOE MAUER BOBBLEHEAD
GROUP". The bobbleheads were distributed at a special gathering outside
the Metro- |
|
dome
on the day after the "normal" bobblehead was given away. The
bobblehead included a thank-you note from the Mauer family. This is the only
instance of such a |
|
special
edition bobblehead, and most collectors are unaware that it even exists. |
