If you really don’t want to miss your reunion,contact the Rays and offer to send a check for fifty bucks to ‘Rays Charities’ if they will send you a creepy Zim Bear in return. I bet they’ll jump at the chance .

Then you can hang out with all of your old Kool-Aid chugging buddies and re-live all the good times you had out on the monkey bars!

Swift – I missed the Jacobs Field giveaway! I have a model giveaway of Canal Park and the Captains ballpark though. Not as cool.

Susan – They have elementary school reunions? And I forgot to mention, there has been some discussion of taking talents (i.e. driving) to Miami after Tampa to see that absolutely awful home run statue/monstrosity at the new Marlins park.

medfest – I forgot about the Vaughn bobblehead!!! And I’m super impressed that your jug still has the logo on it. I have a Cedar Point cup from the year Mean Streak opened that you can still mostly see “Mean Streak.” I also laughed out loud about the metal plate, because a friend and I were wondering the same exact thing the other day!

I’ve got a San Diego Padres 2-quart Coca Cola jug I use every day for my Crystal Light Ice Tea/lemonade.
Got it from my brother in law in the late ’80s when he was director of stadium ops at Jack Murphy. Still has all the logos and everything despite being dishwasher washed for over 20 years.Talk about a “Good item”!….(extra credit if you can identify the “Good item” reference)

I really liked the Ricky Vaughn bobblehead ,the Bob Feller statue is nice,but the Hamilton bobblehead is a classic!
My out of town friends are always jealous when they see and hear it.

That Zim Bear creeps me out,though.Does it come with a removable metal plate in its skull?….Sorry.

My elementary school class is having its 30th reunion that night. And yes, I am willing to miss it in order to acquire the Zim Bear.

My Tom Hamilton bobblehead is also one of my favorites from over the years. Another one I love is the miniature Jacobs Field model they gave away, IIRC for the 10th anniversary in 2004.
