Important question for A's season!

I see that the A's have scheduled 4 bobblehead days, but just two are named:  Buck and Suzuki.  So, who should be the next two bobbleheads for the 2008 season.  I was going to give my picks, but this is perfect poll fodder.

They should do a PTBNL bobblehead

Every day is just a little worse than the previous, that means every day is the worst day of my life.

Bill King? That would be very cool. never happen, but very cool.

You don't know Jack!

They did a Bill King bobblehead a couple years ago.

When he was still alive, if I remember right.

They did

But I think it was just the season ticket holder one.

Correct ... but that probably means it won't happen ...

Duchscherer next!

Then Blanton. Then Mike Sweeney, because we always bobblize our single-season old guys. Then Embree, because he's a multi-season old guy. Nobody else has earned it yet (in fact, I don't think Buck & Suzuki have earned it yet, even though I love them).

Actually, Cupcakes before Duke.

Regardless of order, I think they should be "the other two" this year, but that would shut out the old guys.

Old school

Captain Sal, or Rollie, or Campy.

I want a Cornelius McGillicuddy bobblehead. Wearing a suit.

As reassuring as Bud's words were, the dulcet tone of his voice and his dashing appearance really sealed the deal for me. ~ GreenNGoldSooner @('.')@

Totally older school

Ty Cobb.

I don't care that it was only 1 year. In Philadelphia. I wanna claim him as an A.

I'm all for McGillicuddy

That would be quite a sight. You have to have a removeable straw hat, don't you think?

Then we could all dance a jig and sing "A McGillicuddy is Here!"

Complete with camp shirt, sandals and a chair.

The only reason

Blanton isn't already on the top of the list is because they weren't sure he wouldn't be traded.

If we're keeping him for the year, then he's a shoo-in.

Would Blanton have an old school, chubby body?

Or would he have a new, slender, less realistic one?
