It's "Sister Rosalind Day At Midway Stadium! Come On Out And Get A Sr. Rosalind Bobblehead!


.

It was never Sister Rosalind Gefre's dream to have her likeness immortalized as a bobblehead. But once the St. Paul Saints got the idea of honoring their back-rubbing nun with a Sister Gefre figurine, the massage therapist learned to accept it.

"I pray a lot. I just said, 'Jesus, it's your business,' " she said. " 'Whatever happens, it's in your hands.' "

But on Saturday, it'll be all about her hands. The first 1,500 Saints fans who arrive at Midway Stadium will receive their own Sister Gefre bobblehands — a miniature statue of the attention-spurning sister herself. The figure stands with outstretched spring-loaded wrists, as if ready to work out those troublesome kinks. [snip] PioneerPress

The games starts at 7:05 at Midway Stadium so you'd better get out there now if you want to be one of those first 1,500 to get a Sister Rosalind Bobblehead doll! (I inquired of the reporter as to why she is referred to as "Sister Gefre." No reply yet. Style manuals must supercede real life usage).
