My bobblehead wish list continues...
16. Frank Thomas SGA (Chicago White Sox)
You have to love anyone with the nickname "The Big Hurt". An amazingly dangerous offensive force and someone who always seemed to love being on the ball field. Soon to be HOFer.

17. Eric Davis SGA 2002 (Cincinnati Reds)
Was a great talent in his day, and was largely underrated for his career. As I was thinking about adding either Davis or Sabo from the early Reds issues. Sabo is more unique with the goggles, but Davis was the better player.
18. Dave Parker SGA Lumber Company (Pittsburgh Pirates)
A very inexpensive item, but Parker was a force when I was a kid. Had some solid HOF credentials, but never got a lot of support. Despite some off the field issues, he was always a cool player.
19. Todd Helton SGA (Colorado Rockies)
I have only one Colorado bobblehead and Helton is the face of that franchise up till now. Piece itself is quite sharp.

I will always remember Boomer for the necklace, long before every guy had his titanium rope around the neck. Big and powerful, but an excellent first baseman. Since the Brewers moved to the NL I have always cheered for them because I went to college in Milwaukee and in honor of my late friend Steve Gorczany who was a huge Brewer fan.
