I can’t help but think that some people figure if nobody has a mask on, it’s OK not to wear one.

And that’s just not true. And it can’t be looked at that way if we are ever going to get out of this pandemic and back to normal. And by normal, I don’t mean completely the way it was, but maybe to the point where teams can high-five after games, concession stands can open, and coaches can get back to just coaching without worrying about social distancing during drills.

Stanton is, to Uni Watch's knowledge, the first MLB player to have a personalized element on his mask.

Why do your glasses fog up when you’re wearing a face mask?
British optometrists Margrain and Owen described the mechanism that causes glasses to mist up. Glass or plastic lenses will usually attain a temperature that’s close to that of their environment. When you are in a cool place and exhale into your mask, the mask blocks and re-directs some of your breath up toward the top edge of the mask and under your glasses. the warm moist air of your breath reaches the lens surface. When the warm breath hits the cool lens, the water in the breath condenses causing your lenses to fog up.New Orleans Saints

The NFL will be cracking down on larger, "overbuilt" facemasks for the 2014 season, the league announced in a memo sent to players and teams on Monday. The league also released a statement confirming as much on Tuesday, saying that the use of non-standard or overbuilt facemasks will be prohibited as part of a "continuing effort to protect players from unnecessary risk."

The game initially was scheduled for Sunday afternoon, but when the Steelers' game against Baltimore was pushed back to Wednesday because of the Ravens' COVID-19 outbreak, the league rescheduled this game for Monday at 5 p.m. ET.Washington Football Team
