help with yankees batting helmet

[markize]

i need some help identifying a yankees batting helmet. it has a steiner hologram, but no player or dates given. the Rawlings helmet has #12 on the front and back, and is a size 7 for right a handed batter. i have checked roster info, and came up with the following:

1993-1997 - wade boggs LH batter
1998 - no player wore #12
1999 - clemens & jim leyritz - leyritz is 6 feet 195 lbs, but seems too big for a size 7
2000 - denny neagle LH batter
2001 - clay bellinger - 6 feet 3 inches, and 215 lbs: i was told he didnt wear size 7 from a good source
2002 - 2003 alfosno soriano wears size 7
2004 - kenny lofton - LH batter
2005 - tony womack - LH batter
2006 - 2007 - andy phillips - 6 feet 205 lbs: i was told he didn't wear size 7 from a good source
2008 pudge rodriguez - 5 feet 9 inches 205 lbs seems too big for a size 7

ok, so with all that, does anyone have any info to help me figure this out. from everything i have researched i was thinking it was a soriano helmet from 2002 or 2003. is the style consistent with 02 or 03 yankees helmets. thanks in advance for all the help.

rawlings bought ABC helmets in 04 i believe, so it was used/issued after that.
what is the date code stamped on the back above the mlb logo?

Mark - You must have better friends than me because I posted this a week ago and got no responses.

Also, what year did the Yankees stop putting uniform numbers on the helmet?

Looks like Alberto Gonzalez also wore #12 and would be the most likely to have worn it given he is a RH batter.
