I'm pleased to announce the Fort Myers Miracle are doing a bobblehead set this season. The set will consist of 5 current and former Twins. Obviously all 5 of those players have Miracle ties as well. I've included these dates on front page of my blog, but here they are again.
Brian Dozier - April 14th
Joe Mauer - May 19th
Jose Berrios - June 30th
Torii Hunter - July 21st
Byron Buxton - September 1st
A lot of times, minor league teams do various bobbleheads that have a connection to any of the teams they've been affiliated with the past and plenty that are local celebrities. As a Twins fan, I'm super excited about this set of 5.
After speaking with a highly credible source, it was interesting to learn about the process a minor league team goes through. The team requests to do specific players. Once the Twins review that request, they provide a handful of pictures of each player to base the bobblehead from. The minor league team picks the jersey and the Miracle are trying to do poses that represent each player the best. For example, the Joe Mauer bobblehead is in a batting pose while the Byron Buxton bobblehead will be in a fielding pose. More to come as I plan on blogging about each individual player and hopefully will have picture evidence of them as well.
