gdoll.jpg

Hasbro's Starting Lineup, 1996. Wal-Mart, $15 in 1997 (clearance). Only 4 players were released in this the Cooperstown Collection. The doll- yes, doll- is 12" tall; fully poseable if you're dumb enough to take it out of the box to play with it; comes with cotton removable clothes if your weird enough to play with a naked doll; a baseball glove and ball; and a real-wood bat that is 3/4 the length of the doll. The inside flap of the box has a blurb about Lou Gehrig.

They're all worth the money.
