Default Frank Robinson California Angels Batting Helmet

While I knew he was very ill, I was still very saddened to hear the news that Baseball Legend & Hall of Famer Frank Robinson had passed away last week. My game used collection only has a handful of non Orioles items, however I am grateful that one of those items is the last batting helmet that Frank wore as a member of the (then) California Angels in 1974. The helmet was originally sourced from an Angels clubhouse employee who took the helmet home as a souvenir the day that Frank was traded to the Indians (he then wrote the date in Ink on the interior label). RIP Frank & thank you for the memories.
