Minnesota baseball team giving out Sen. Craig 'bobblefoot' to fans

The St. Paul Saints are handing out booblefoots to the first 2,500 fans that attend their May 25th game.

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- You've heard of the bobblehead doll that baseball teams love to hand out to fans. So how about a bobblefoot?

The St. Paul Saints are putting their own twist on the popular promotion, in a nod to one of the most notorious Minnesota stories of last year.

At Sunday's game, they'll give 2,500 fans a miniature bathroom stall with a pair of lower legs and feet - one of which is springloaded so that it taps.

A Saints press release notes that, "It doesn't matter if your tapping style is done with a 'wide stance.'"

That's a not-so-subtle reference to Idaho Republican Sen. Larry Craig, who pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct after an undercover police officer arrested him for allegedly soliciting sex in a bathroom stall at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

The team is an independent club that plays in the American Association.
