Today, 1979 - When Bob Montgomery takes his final at-bat, he becomes the last player to step into the batter’s box without wearing a helmet. The Red Sox backup catcher, who is required to wear a protective plastic liner within his cap, is allowed to be helmetless due to a grandfather clause in Major League Baseballs edict that enacted eight years ago making the use helmets mandatory for all batters. (The helmet is currently on display in the uniform section of the MLB Hall of Fame)
