Set
Notes: The base color and player's name formats are
continued but the player's depicted are not virtually |
identical
to their '03 SGA counterparts this time. Two of the player's had left the
team in the interim and are |
|
replaced,
the team apparently not wanting to promote an additional version of a
recently departed player. The |
remaining
two players undergo uniform changes. All four bobbleheads have an
'03 (rather
than
'02) Division |
|
Champs
plaque attached, as this is now the most recent accomplishment. The alternate
red crown/blue bill |
|
cap
makes it's first appearance on all four bobbles as well. For general notes on
ST sets please see the '01 ST |
set. Please click on the player's name to view a side by side
comparison with the 2003 SGA version |
|
(which
may not be the same player, as noted above). |

|
Notes: |
|
|
1.
Manager Ron Gardenhire replaces Guardado, who had been granted free agency at
the end of the '03 |
|
season.
This is the first depiction of a team jacket and the "hands in
pockets" pose is unique. Gardenhire is |
|
the only
Twin to be done only as a ST
bobblehead although, of course, the mold now exists for potential |
|
future use. |
|
|
2. Hunter
switches to alternate road jersey and cap. Note also the plaque change. |
|
|
3. Koskie
switches from alternate jersey to normal home pinstripes, and from batting
helmet to alternate |
|
red cap. He
is also a good half inch taller at the shoulder, weighs more, and has
somewhat different pro- |
|
portions
body-wise. Our guess is that the original mold was, for whatever reasons, no
longer available and |
|
had to be
redone. The Koskie ST is regarded by many as the most unique and handsome
bobble of the |
|
entire
range. Again, note the plaque change. |
|
|
4.
Radke replaces Pierzynski, who had been traded in November following the
season. The Radke ST is the |
|
only Twins
promo bobble to appear in other than frontal pose - the retail pose was
probably used in a pinch |
|
to get something out. |
