NEARLY EVERYTHING about the 15,000 Huston Street bobblehead dolls the Oakland A's distributed on April 16 was perfect. "They got my [left] foot out, they got my stance, they got my tongue out," says the 2005 AL Rookie of the Year . Street, however, didn't look so sharp that day, giving up four ninth-inning runs to Texas to become the only reliever to blow a save on his Bobblehead Day, according to bobblehead guru and sports economist David Hallstrom. "I like the bobblehead," Street says, "but I hope to forget that day."

STREET'S RATING: 3 1/2 stars

*Street rated his bobblehead on a 1 to 4 scale, with 4 being the best.
