I’m having a flasback to a Game of Thrones episode where a royal was a little too attached to gold on his head. Didn’t end well. Better wstch out, Greedy Greg…
A normal batting helmet weighs about 3 lbs, or 1360 grams. It is made mostly of ABS plastic which has a density of 0.9 grams/cm3, making the helmet about 1,500 cm3. Gold has a density of 19 g/cm3, so a solid gold helmet would weigh 28,700 grams or 63 lbs. Willie must have some amazing neck muscles to walk around with that on his head.
True, that. Just donate the $ and save the time, effort and expense of a fundraiser, not to mention those godawful t-shirts that all end up at the Rescue Mission thrift stores.

You could raise even more money for the poor by giving Willie a nice big tax cut.
