ST. PAUL, Minn., March 20 (UPI) -- A minor league baseball team, the St. Paul Saints, says attendees at an upcoming game will receive dolls based on Minnesota's U.S. Senate-recount conflict.

The Minnesota team said the first 2,500 fans at its May 23 home game against the Sioux Falls Canaries will receive Count von "Re"Count dolls based on the electoral battle between Republican Norm Coleman, the lawyer who held the seat the last six years, and Democrat Al Franken, the comedian trying to wrest the seat away from him, the St. Paul Pioneer Press said Friday.

The dolls are based on the famed "Sesame Street" character Count von Count. They will feature Coleman's and Franken's faces on separate halves, the Pioneer-Press said.

The outcome of the battle between Coleman and Franken has yet to be determined by a three-judge panel that heard the court contest that followed a recount of the Nov. 4 election results.
