Did any of you fellow catcher's get a look at Carlos Ruiz's mask last night? It looked like a Titanium mask of some sort, had an allstar harness on it, but it definately was not an allstar model. It definately wasn't the Nike titanium mask, which he had been wearing. Anyone have any clues?

I've been looking for someone who is selling a traditional titanium mask, but so far Nike is only releasing them through their pro account reps and unless you are a professional umpire or player you cannot get one, although I have some connections working on it for me without luck yet.

Ruiz uses Easton brand gear, including his mitt(which is the same pattern as the allstar pro gloves) Alot of pros use the allstar harness because it holds on the skull cap better. What im thinking is that Easton probably sent him a custom made mask. I saw during the regular season that he had a strange mask with a wierd marking and a closer look was a custom easton.
