Nola.com says the autographed helmet has the No. 29 on the back, leading them to believe it belongs to either Chris McAlister, Marcus McCauley or Herana-Daze Jones, as all three wore that number that season. Nola speculates that McAlister could be the one selling the items because he had financial problems recently, claiming he was broke and living with his parents.
Best of luck to the player selling the items. Though based on what they got at auction for the Mets bullpen car, we we recommend using Sotheby’s instead.
