Tony Gwynn #19 • San Diego
Padres
A complete set of IMA Hero™ Bears signed
by baseball great and future Hall of Famer, Tony Gywnn. This is
a particularly special package since Gwynn will retire at the
end of the 2001 season. After 20 years in the Major Leagues, Gwynn
won eight batting titles, made 16 All-Star appearances, has a
.338 lifetime batting average, and hit over .300 for 19 consecutive
seasons.
Do the bears appear to be
well behaved? That's because they know the "camera's rolling."
However, we also caught them goofin' off. Just roll-over the photo
and watch them having fun!
Robin Ventura
#4 • New York Mets
A complete set of IMA Hero™ Bears signed
by New York Mets third baseman, Robin Ventura. The site of the
Mets taking the field in the last few weeks of the 2001 season
is something America will always remember as the team wore caps
honoring the firefighters, policemen, and Port Authority of New
York City. It was a wonderful showing of support and patriotism.
The bears regained their
composure for this photo. Or did they? Roll-over
the photo and see how bears will be bears!
Senator Edward M. Kennedy
This trio of IMA Hero™ Bears is honored
to be the Collection's representives for the signature of Senator
Edward M. Kennedy. Abe Lincoln was one of the most revered U.S.
Presidents, Ben Franklin was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and
Florence Nightingale was a strong leader in and advocate for health
care reform. To make this an extra special value -- Eunice Kennedy
Shriver (Senator Kennedy's sister) started the concept of the
Special Olympics in 1963, and organized the First International
Special Olympics Games at Soldier Field, Chicago, Illinois, in
1968.
Doug Flutie #7 • San Diego
Chargers
This trio of IMA Hero™ Bears is signed
by the veteran Quarterback Doug Flutie who is leading the San
Diego Chargers to a much improved season in his first year with
the team. Doug Flutie's interests and talents excell off the field
as well. He and his wife, Laurie, established the Doug
Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism in honor of their nine-year-old
son, Doug, Jr., who was diagnosed with autism at age three.
OK, now you've seen the IMA Hero™
Bears and Auction Packages. Now get an Up-Close peek at the Celebrity
