August Pickups!!!

[jscott0688]

I struck gold at the Cardinals Authentics shop tonight. This helmet was being sold as a team-issued batting helmet for $75 because the number decal had been removed. However, I could tell that it was only a single digit number. Plus I knew that only a handful of Cardinals players wear the Cool Flo style helmets and that Holliday’s helmet size is 7 5/8. So I was fairly confident that it was Holliday’s helmet. Sure enough I get home and start browsing through photos and it was clearly worn by Holliday throughout the 2011 postseason, including the World Series! Not bad for $67.50 with my discount!

The first photo is from the NLDS and the second one is from the World Series.
