Alfanso Marquez
Anyone see the Cubs game the other day? Alfanso Marquez was the HP Umpire. What for weird throat guard was that on his mask?? looked like a wire frame or something?? I noticed, and it looked weird.

So what. I notice these things.

Really? All I perceived was an inexperienced little league umpire who asks a lot of questions. A fake? I don't think he's faking anything.

138 posts since he joined on July 14, 2006. Is this a record?

For what it\'s worth, which can\'t be much, from what I can remember he\'s had it for his 6+ years of service in MLB. I can\'t really question the "weirdness" of his throat protector, if it makes him feel safe -- more power to him.

In Dan\'s first post he stated that this was his first year and he\'s 15 years old. Keep that in mind and give the kid a break.
His questions may seem amateurish to some, but that\'s exactly what he is. |
Okay, I found the first post and "waltjp" is right. He stated that he was new and 15 years old.

Marquez
To answer the original question; He has the Mizouno mask from Japan and it does not come with a throat protector so it was modified. I know this because I have a friend that has one and that is what he has done with his mask. BTW the mask is the lightest mask I have ever picked up, and you can only get them from Japan.
