How can this possibly be a gamer from the 1998 season? The Jays switched logos from the traditional "Blue Jay" (shown on this helmet) in 1997, a year before Canseco played in Toronto. In 1998, the Jays' batting helmets had the logo with the Blue Jay embedded in the Canadian flag (see attached photos). Unless the Jays used older batting helmets during BP, I can't see how this helmet received any game use from Canseco.
The fact that it has been inscribed a "gamer" makes this a very strange piece.
