During the World Series in 1988, Orel was named the MVP. He was the winning pitcher in two games which including a shutout in Game 2 as well as the Game 5 clincher. After meeting with Orel, we found that he was just as proud of his hitting performance during Game 2 as he was of the lights out pitching. Orel wore this helmet during Game 2 of the 1988 World Series and went a perfect 3 for 3 at the plate. These hits included two doubles as well as an RBI with a run scored. “abc” blue batting helmet, size “7-3/8” with all inner padding intact. On the front in the team “LA” decal. On back as well as on the outer brim is player number “55” decals. Adjacent is the “1988 World Series” logo decal. The helmet is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion, shows heavy use with sweat staining. Accompanied by a LOA from Orel Hershiser.
