Minn. team's promotional giveaway features 'bobble foot' in toilet stall. No Larry, they will never
forget.



The St. Paul Saints will give away 2,500 "bobble foot" dolls before Sunday's game at Midway Stadium.

The baseball team says the promotion, which coincides with National Tap Dance Day, is "in tribute to all their toe-tapping friends and fans from around the nation who may ever have set foot in Minneapolis-St. Paul… even for just a change of planes. The one-of-a-kind collector’s item depicts a restroom stall and a bobble foot peaking out from underneath."

Can you guess what they're referring to? Here's a not-so-subtle hint.

"We decided to have a little fun," spokesman Sean Aronson tells On Deadline. "If people want to make that correlation they're more than welcome to," he adds.

10. Best. Promo. Ever.
I loved the Jack Kerouac bobblehead (Lowell Spinners) and the Rich "El Guapo" Garces bobblebelly, but this is in a league unto itself.
