Personally I am happy to see the face masks being seen more and more at high level programs.

After reading this article and seeing some of the video I've seen… if I were still pitching… and chances are I still could if called upon… I'd be wearing a mask. I'm seeing the value of spending 30 or 40 dollars now to save a face or orthodontic work than it would be to try to fix it.
