I found a story by Grant Brisbee on SB Nation from 2013 in which the author lists the American League Bobbleheads that are the most notable misses for each American League team.  The article is both entertaining and useful for those of us who are interested.  Because it is a year old and because not all great minds think alike, I figured that I would compare my list to his.  Will have to find his NL list later, but here are his AL list and mine.

Angels - He lists Mike Trout which has since been made and uses Jim Fregosi as a backup as he figured that Trout was on his way.  Fregosi is a solid choice for the Angels but I will choose Mike Witt.  Witt was a very good pitcher in his day and tossed perfect game and a combined no-hitter for the Angels.  He was also 6'7" which would allow for some visual interest.  He was the best Angels pitcher for several years.  Not as valuable over his time as Fregosi was, but remembered by more fans at this point I would think.

Astros - Grant lists Cesar Cedeno.  I can't argue with that.

Rangers - He mentions Alex Rodriguez but admits that people in Texas would hate that.  He uses Jim Sundberg as a backup.  I have no interest in A-Rod, and Sundberg is not a bad second choice.  That said, I will go with Buddy Bell.  Either way, it must be done in the powder blue uniforms which my son wonderfully (referring to the Twins, but applicable in many cases) referred to as "nurse uniforms".

Athletics - Grant chose Dwayne Murphy, a solid but uninspiring choice.  Most of the cool A's have been done, but there are a few of the 1970s crew that I would like to see.  That list includes Sal Bando, Joe Rudi, Bert Campaneris and Gene Tenace. Its a tough call because I would like to see any of those.  Sal Bando was the best player of that group by a shade over Campy.  He also had a batter mustache.  Bando it is.

Mariners - He chose Alvin Davis.  This is a tough one because there is little to choose from among the old-time Mariners.  Anyone of note since 1995 seems to have been done.  I am reaching for someone with more pizzazz than Davis...nope, can't come up with one.

Tigers - He picked Hal Newhouser.  Wonderful pitcher from a long time ago.  I would pick Norm Cash among those that the MLB tigers never did - or perhaps Alan Trammell as a player rather than as a manager.  But the Great Lakes Loons version of Cash is solid and there is a Trammell manager version which is a pretty fair likeness. Thus, I will opt for character on this one and go with Mark Fidrych.  He was something of a bobblehead in real life and a "nod" to his nickname ("The Bird") would be fun.  Anyone who remembers him would have to enjoy that.

Indians - Grant went with Albert Belle who has since been done, and it is a pretty fun piece.  That leaves the field open. There were few great Indians from the 1960s-1990s. Andre Thornton...unexciting.  Oscar Gamble's afro would be cool except that Oakland did a Coco Crisp fro already.  Joe Charbonneau's hair?  Awesome, but obscure.  I will go old school cool on this one and take Rocky Colavito.

Twins - He took Cesar Tovar.  As a long-time Twins fan I support that.  He played every position in one game so his bobblehead could have s bunch of gloves on the ground.

Royals - He picked Amos Otis.  I have this one at 50/50 between Otis and Bo Jackson.  Otis was more valuable over his career but Jackson was more colorful.  Based on the possibilities, I will go with Bo Jackson.

White Sox - Grant's pick was Wilbur Wood over Ray Durham and (since done) Ron Kittle.  Wood is another guy who just isn't horribly interesting to me, although I was never a ChiSox fan.  He is up there in WAR for the Sox, but I will go with Luis Aparicio, an All-Star most years in Chicago and a Hall of Famer.

Yankees - He likes Ron Guidry.  There are so many great Yankees and many appear to have been done as retail pieces but not SGA.  Rather than spend a year figuring out which are which, I will nominate Graig Nettles and Roy White but settle on Guidry along with him.

Rays - Minimal history here. He likes Wade Boggs.  I will use this space to complain that all of the Rays bobbleheads have been minis (or at least much smaller than other teams).  That said, I am looking for memorable or good players with something colorful about them.  Boggs as a Ray does nothing for me (though I'd love the Red Sox to do one of him).  In a fairly bare cupboard, I will go with Carlos Pena.

Orioles - He picked Mark Belanger, a great glove who hit nothing for some outstanding teams.  The Red Cross did Boog Powell with a chef hat in honor of his barbeque business.  It is cool and so was Boog.  I would rather have a Boog Powell than a Belanger even if Belanger's defense made him very valuable to the Orioles.

Red Sox - Boston has done almost no bobbleheads.  Yaz is the obvious choice, but there is a decent piece of him that was sold through his personal web site.  Carlton Fisk is another option, but the Pawtucket Sox did him perfectly.  Bill Lee was colorful but his CCCP cap doesn't amuse me anymore.  Despite the pain that goes with knowing that the Twins released him for nothing, I will join Grant in advocating Luis Tiant.

Blue Jays-  He throws out the idea of the 1980s outfield as a three man piece including Lloyd Moseby, George Bell and Jesse Barfield.  Not a bad idea.  Barfield was the best player of the group, so I will choose him. 

Time to find his NL list and read that one.  Great work Grant.
