    Excuse my ignorance, but what the hell were the masks they kept showing in the crowd? Some were matched with sombreros so I'm assuming there's a Mexican connection (Sanchez)?

    I think they are Luchador wrestling masks, since we as a fan base seem to have to make a huge deal out of his racial heritage.

    That's the Rey Mysterio mask from the WWE.

    Thanks! I've read that he became a vocal leader in the Mexican community in California, so I assume he'd be okay with that sort of thing here, as long as the stereotypes don't get out of hand, that is. Last week we saw a guy with a sombrero and huge fake mustache, which was pretty funny, but I can see how it could be borderline offensive.

    Mind you given how much air time those same two dudes seem to get in todays game I am expecting to see about 500 of them in the crowd for the next game.

    Those are the masks that the mayan (or Aztec) tribe who are Sanchez's ancestors wore.
