New York Mets Batting Helmets

[stepback2000]

Hello everyone, does anyone know if the New York Mets had names or numbers done with blue Dymo tape on their batting helmets during the 1971 and 1972 seasons? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Mike

Re: New York Mets Batting Helmets

I'm not a Mets helmet expert but did find these photos.

First photo is from 1971 and shows Tom Seaver wearing a helmet w/ dyno tape. I cannot confirm the photo is really from 71 but it was advertised as being from that year.

Second photo is from the May 1972 issue of SI which shows Willie Mays with a helmet w/ no Dyno tape.
