Bad Gift Ideas For Your Favorite Tigers Fan

What would be a worse gift idea for a Detroit Tigers fan this holiday season? An Edgar Renteria bobblehead or a Gary Sheffield bobblehead?
(I'm kind of impressed by the Sheff bobblehead's likeness. Usually, these things look nothing like the actual person.)
What, no Todd Jones bobblehead? Maybe a Jacque Jones model on super-clearance?
These are among the offerings available through MLB.com "Gift Finder."
I don't mean to poke too much fun, however, because if you play around a bit, it could actually a pretty clever tool to come up with Tigers-related gifts for different people you know.
But you can never go wrong with an authentic jersey or cap. I'm just sayin'.

at least todd jones saved games
renteria had a tendency to throw them away while sheff never really hit when he was here…i’d say that the edgar head is by far the worst.

I'm inclined to agree
There’s a JC Penney near where I live that has had one Renteria jersey in amongst the Tigers shirts for two years now. You’d think they would have realized that no one’s going to buy it.

This one made no sense to me, so it wins.

Is this for men who think the stork metaphor just doesn’t cut it?
Lest we forget
Here’s another questionable gift item: The creepy Photoshopped customizable mousepad! (Also available as a coffee mug or framed photo)

Creepiness at it’s best. I know Polly has a giant bighead, but that is ridiculous. <3 Polly . I will miss you.
this thing makes me laugh everytime...
priceless. I’d buy it just for the lolz.

Hey...
I actually wouldn’t mind having a Todd Jones bobble head… He may not have had the skill, but he was by far the most proud to wear the Tigers jersey. Definitely the most loyal Tiger ever in my book.
Anyone else remember him crying at the press conference?
I saw a Willis jersey yesterday...
thought I’d share such information here.

Haha...I almost forgot about him
There’s a bunch of Willis t-shirts at JC Penney (I guess they go with the Renteria jersey). At least he’s still with the Tigers, unlike the others mentioned (I’m not saying that’s necessarily a good thing). I used to see a Dmitri Young jersey at the Meijer near my house (as late as last year and he was released in ’06).

Easy choice for worst gift here
One of those 2009 Detroit Tigers Central Division Champs shirts that undoubtedly were sitting somewhere in the Metrodome and in boxes in stores all over the state. You know, as locked down as we thought we had it, those shirts were probably collecting dust in those stores for awhile.
