New Addition - Miguel Sano Sweet Spot Bobblehead

The newest addition to my collection (from last night) is a Miguel Sano bobblehead.  These are commonly called "Sweet Spot" bobbleheads as season ticket holders rank various "Sweet Spot Benefits" and if you rank the player bobblehead high enough you get one towards the end of each season.  We found out about a couple weeks ago that Sano was the Sweet Spot bobble and the Twins began giving them to select season ticket holders last night.  Thankfully its produced by Success Promotions and is a great bobble, easily the best one (along with the Plouffe Star Wars - also by Success Promotions) of the season.  

2016 Twins Bobblehead Rundown!

Here's the complete rundown of all 2016 Twins SGA bobbleheads!

Trevor Plouffe Skywalker Bobblehead Night

Tonight the Twins giveaway their first bobblehead of the season.  I've blogged about this one before, read about it here.  The Twins do several "Theme Night Giveaways" and this is one of the best.  In order to receive the giveaway you buy a special ticket, which guarantees you of receiving the giveaway.  How can it get better than that?  Well, because you don't even need to go into Target Field to get the item, you pick it up outside the gate and then are able to return to your vehicle to drop off the item so you don't have to lug it around all night.  With several things, thats no big deal, but its nice to ditch bobbleheads in the car!  Should be a fun night, maybe we'll even see a win?  

Trevor Plouffe - Star Wars Bobblehead

I forgot to do an update on this bobblehead.  The Twins released a photo of the Plouffe Skywalker bobblehead.  Pretty cool!  It's a special event bobblehead which means a special ticket is needed to receive the bobble.  I'm a fan of these "outside the box" bobbleheads that many teams are doing and I'm glad the Twins jumped on board.  I like the classic version too and hope they continue to do them, but 1 non-classic version per season is pretty sweet.

Trevor Plouffe Skywalker Star Wars Bobblehead

I knew it was happening soon, but didn't expect the announcement today (kind of expected it yesterday).  The Twins announced their theme night giveaways today.  I previously blogged about one of these theme nights being bobblehead related.  Plenty of people debated who the Star Wars bobblehead would be.  I don't think many people thought it would be Trevor Plouffe, but I'm not unhappy with this at all.  Plouffe hasn't had a Twins bobblehead yet and he's more deserving than some other players.  I think a lot of people were hoping for a Buxton Star Wars bobble.

Just like last year's version (Phil Hughes), you have to order special tickets that are sold on a limited basis.  Plenty of other theme night stuff is available too, but obviously the bobblehead is what I'm all about!

Want List (Part 9)

Here are a few more Twins related bobbleheads that I'd eventually like to find.  First are a couple major leaguers, or umm, semi-major leaguers...you'll see what I mean by that in, 3...2...1

Yep, that's Aaron Hicks when he played for the Beloit Snappers and Trevor Plouffe when he was on the Rochester Red Wings roster.  I've seen these before, they aren't all that rare, I'm not willing to pay some sort of ridiculous amount for them tho!  Next we have a couple former Twins.  Gary Gaetti, the current manager of the Sugar Land Skeeters.  And a New Britain Rock Cats bobblehead of David Ortiz.
