Funny I was thinking the same thing lol lol

Well first you want to get to know the helmet. Keep good eye contact. Talk to the helmet, be a good listener and when the time is right pop the question and ask the helmet out to dinner lol lol

Sorry i couldn't resist

On a serious note. I am not sure about the dating wheel code on helmets, but very common a helmet can remain with the equipment for a few years before even being used.
So for example if the helmet dates to 1998, it could of been used in 2000.

Good Luck, hope you pinpoint it to someone big.

Any chance of a 5/99 helmet used in 2006 for a pitcher ?
