|
1. Hunter
is honored for a second time in recognition of his defensive skills. This
bobblehead is generally referred to as the "Hunter GG" as it
depicts |
Torii
holding one of his
Gold Glove trophies. There was a high degree (30 - 40%
according to the Twins) of shipping/handling breakage due to the award |
extending
out from the body. The team instituted a replacement program whereby damaged
bobbles could be exchanged for a new version once pro- |
duced.
The new version, usually referred to as the "Hunter GG SGAR",
features the trophy as a separate piece which is held next to the body by
means |
of
magnets. Although the replacement version is not truly a SGA bobblehead, most
collectors desire both versions. For a comparison shot of the two |
versions

2.
Radke is depicted in the sleeveless "pixie vest" jersey, an
alternate jersey new to the uniform combinations for 2006. It is interesting
to note that |
Radke
has never worn the jersey, and probably never will. |
|
|
|
3.
Martin is depicted as team manager in 1969 rather than as a player or coach,
hence the team jacket and consequently his name on the back of the |
bobblehead's
base. |
|
|
4.
Morris is depicted in a historically correct home uniform as he appeared in
the 1991 World Series (note the
patch on the right sleeve). These uniforms |
did
not have the player's name on the back, hence the name on the rear of the
bobblehead's base. |
