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.
