Have you seen this thing? It's a Dan Gladden bobblehead, complete with sweet mustache and Tom Petty hair.Dazzle is perhaps best known not for his striking good looks, but for scoring the winning run during Game 7 of the 1991 World Series (my most exciting moment as a Twins fan) after stretching a bloop hit into a double, and later scoring on a Gene Larkin pinch-hit single to win it all.
This bobblehead all yours if you are one of the first 10,000 fans at the Metrodome in Minneapolis on Friday, June 20th to watch the Minnesota Twins play the Arizona Diamondbacks. All yours. For free.

Oh that's sweet! It really is!
That bobblehead is awesome.
Joe Dirt? Is that you?
Aren't the Twins obligated to put out a Steve Lombardozzi bobblehead so you can have it fight the Gladden bobblehead on your front lawn? I say yes.
The Dan Gladden bobble head.
The guy who put the nail in our proverbial coffin in 1991 in Game 7. As a Braves fan, I can't think about that Series without wanting to cry, punch something, or find out where Kent Hrbek is living currently.
But hey, it's in the past and good for you Twins fans. I hope you enjoy your bobble head.
It's "Dirté" by the way.
