The first anniversary of the arrest of Senator Larry Craig for suspicion of lewd conduct in the men’s room at the Minneapolis-St.Paul International Airport will be commemorated at a St. Paul Saints baseball game with a unique promotional giveaway.

The first 2,500 fans that attend the Saints game at Midway Stadium in St. Paul, MN on May 25th will receive a plastic replica of a pair of feet in a bathroom stall called a bobblefoot. Much like the traditional “bobblehead” toy, where the head shakes when the item is agitated, when the bobblefoot is agitated, one of the feet under the stall shakes.

According to various reports, on June 11, 2007 the republican senator from Idaho was allegedly attempting to solicit sex from an undercover police officer in the airport bathroom. Craig was in the stall next to the officer, who was part of a sting operation to crack down on sexual activity in the airport bathroom, when he allegedly tapped the officer in the adjacent stall with his foot. Before the foot contact, the police report stated that Craig had been peeking through the openings in the stall at the undercover officer.

Craig originally pled guilty to the lewd conduct charge, but later changed his plea. The case resulted in Craig pleading guilty to the lesser charge of disorderly conduct.

The bobblehead promotion is part of the Saints’ recognition and celebration of National Tap Dance Day. It comes one day after they salute deceased mime Marcel Marceau with a “Tribute to Noise.” The Saints are one of ten teams that play in the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball League, which is not affiliated with Major League Baseball.
