I made out great at Fanfest this year! Came home with:

3 Markakis hats (2 home, 1 away)

1 Adam Jones hat

1 pair of Markakis pants

2 Markakis batting gloves (different styles)

1 Brian Roberts batting glove

and my favorite pick-up- a pounded Nick Markakis batting helmet! Spent less than $300.

They were much better stocked with stars this year though bats were pretty much non-existent.

There were 3 Wieters jerseys, as well as Arrieta, Matusz, and Reimold. There was at least another Markakis batting glove and a really nice selection of Adam Jones bats and jerseys.

I'll be posting more scans later. It was also cool to get to see forum member Geoff who made off pretty well himself.

Doesn't Nick Markakis bat left handed? The helmet is a righty.

You better check with Keith Allison on Flickr to photomatch that stuff! Have you heard of him?

Also the helmet is the old style batting helmet. Most players either use the venelated helmets from 2008 or 2009. Some may use 2007 style. I don't know what year exactly this helmet is from but probably 2004.

That's definitely not a Markakis batting helmet.

well, that sucks. might be a sosa. going back to 2003, he's the only roster player i could find that wore 21

i found a game used hat for him in leland's that was from 2002 and size 7 1/8 so it definitely could be a fit for what i thought was a ginormous head

here's the rest of the goods

That's definitely not a Markakis batting helmet.

I just checked getty pics of Sosa, and it appears they didn't put numbers on the bill then. Maybe an O's expert can shed some light on when the numbers were put on.

[jwasserman]

I don't know why I didn't check this first. The logo was used from 89-97. In that period, the only non-pitcher who wore 21 was David Segui.

A gentleman at the show found a #8 helmet in the bin. I was thinking there was no way they had helmets going back that far but I guess the O's are clearing out there closets.

I really wish I could look through those helmets again now!
