I found the guy with the batting helmet, and, curiously, it looks like an Expos helmet. That tracks, because me and my brothers always chose more interesting batting helmets as souvenirs than our hometown Cubs.
It DOES look like an Expos helmet! Wow, Bill, you've got some sharp eyes. I hadn't noticed that until you said it and then I had to put my eyes right up to my screen. Excellent addition to the historical record here. I dug a little further and the Giants were playing the Astros that day, so this guy was just very lost or very wise to cover his head with whatever happened to be available.
Oh Paul, I guess I’m the only nitwit who looked for the guy with the helmet! And found him! (The very left of the right hand third of the picture.) This post was so entertaining. Apparently nuns and boy scouts are drawn more to day games, and dairy farmers/workers and letter carriers love the nightlife! Thanks. Meg
You were just the only one to document your success here for posterity, Meg. I'm glad you enjoyed the mild hypocrisy of the O'Malleys supposed "taste" in baseball promotions. It's a slippery slope from scouts to giving away live shellfish!
