Beanies for men? If you like to follow that stereotypical gender role line, then yes. Salvino's Bammers are beanie bears named after sports heroes, from football to baseball to hockey. Happily, some of the sports heroes have also been honored in beanie form are Asian Pacific American.

Chan Ho Park International Bammers 1999, Salvino, Inc Individual Figure Chan Ho Park was born in Kong Ju City, South Korea and pitches for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The most useful information I found about Chan Ho Park was at Peter J. Chen's Asian American Action Figure Homepage. He says, "Chan Ho Park signed with the Dodgers as the first South Korean baseball player in the United States. For symbolic reasons, he chose the number 61 which is the exact mirrored replica of Nomo's # 16. Park has been coming along rather steadily, but is now in the limelight with Nomo being traded to the Mets."
