My helmet was $85. I own a mask that cost more.

How is it "less professional?" Chuck Meriwether wore one at the A's game I attended last night. BTW, he didn't even bother taking it off when rotating up to third.

Anyone that says the helmet is cooler is on drugs. The heat is the one big drawback to the helmet.
