Another Sand Gnats Bobblehead!

A few days ago I wrote about a Frank Viola bobblehead that the Savannah Sand Gnats gave out. Read about it here! I know these aren't exactly Minnesota related bobbleheads but since there aren't many Viola bobbleheads out there, I liked the Savannah one quite a bit.  I knew of a Johan Santana bobblehead the Sand Gnats gave out and I recently added it to my collection!  As most of us know, the Twins traded Santana to the Mets in 2008.  Read more about the Santana and the trade here.  Like Viola, the Twins haven't done many Santana bobbleheads and since I had the Viola one, I wanted to add this one so they'd be displayed together!

Sweet Music

It baffles me why the Twins  haven't done a Frank Viola SGA bobblehead.  The only Viola bobblehead is from the 1987 World Series set.  The Savannah Sand Gnats did a Viola giveaway a couple years ago.  The Sand Gnats are a minor league affiliate for the New York Mets, where Viola was the pitching coach.  But a strange thing happened.  The Sand Gnats didn't get the bobbleheads in time for the giveaway game.  Because of that these are pretty rare and I'm excited I could add one to my collection!

Want List (Part 10)

This is my last post for Twins related bobbleheads I'd like to add to my collection.  I believe all of these are SGAs of former Twins players.  LaTroy Hawkins (Fort Wayne Wizards) makes another appearance and next to him is Lew Ford (New Britain Rock Cats).  Then we have Johan Santana (Savannah Sand Gnats) & Eric Milton (State College Spikes)!
