Next question-Equipment: +POS and All Star both introduced a mask back in the mid 1990's touted as the lightest mask on the market (Rawlings returned fire not long after). What is the model of that mask (I'll accept either the +POS or All Star model designation)?

Would that be the +POS Zero Gravity?

Nopers. That mask is still in production. The mask I refer to is the +POS SUL.

Next Question: From the late 1960s to around 1980, the AL Umpires wore what color plate coat??

Red was the color off all the coats in that era.

What does that have to do with the question you asked? He gave the correct answer for the question that you asked. He did not need to qualify his answer, as it was contained in the question. The question concerned the AL only, and all of their coats were red.
