PrintA press release sent by the Angels media relations does not explain away the season ticket holders who will re-enter the stadium three and four times (that would be me) for extra masks without the commensurate heads to be wearing said masks when the record will be broken. I assume the Guinness adjudicator knows how to properly surmise the numbers. Okay, so here is the release...
ANGELS TO ATTEMPT WRESTLING MASK GUINNESS WORLD RECORD
ANAHEIM, CA - On Tuesday May 10, the Angels will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the "largest gathering of people wearing costume masks". All fans in attendance when the Angels play the White Sox this Tuesday at 7:05 PM will receive a complimentary Angels Wrestling Mask courtesy of Cacique U.S.A.
"We are constantly looking for ways to connect and engage with our great fan base," Vice-President of Sales & Marketing, Robert Alvarado said. "Setting another world record to compliment lasts seasons blanket event will be a unique and memorable experience for our fans, and another memory during our fiftieth anniversary."
During the game, an anticipated sellout crowd of over 40,000 will be prompted to wear their red Angels wrestling masks for ten consecutive minutes. After completion of the ten minutes, a Guinness World Records Adjudicator will officially certify the new record. Later in the game, Guinness World Records will hold a short ceremony to recognize the record breaking attempt.
This is the second Guinness World Record attempted by the Angels. The first was for the "largest gathering of people wearing blankets" in 2010. The current record for the largest gathering of people wearing costume masks is 250.

It would be, but with Doyer fans fleeing the team like rats from a sinking ship,
what better place to finalize the Conquest of LA than a public baptism of fire to the modern day Sun King and his philandering Marie Antoinette.

It Reeks of Minor League ball
I’m not up in arms about it, but it is a minor league promotion at a major league park.
Could use more of this, in my opinion
Minor league games are a lot of fun because of stuff like this. Certainly some of it goes over the top, but this is harmless and amusing.

I was at the Snuggie game
came away with two of them, I had a use for them on my camping trips, but I can’t think of any use I could get out of the masks.
CONGER, CONGER, CONGER !!!

It's just that they're terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.

Sitting there for ten minutes wearing mexican wrestling masks?
Best. Promotion. Ever. It’s so stupid and laughable, that’s what’s great about it.
yeah, 10 minutes is pretty long
I could see 3 minutes, but after 5 mintues people will start taking them off.

he could reprise his luchadore character. “we lose because you believe in science.” “no, we lose because you are fat!”

Sad thing is
I’ll probably be buying one of Rev’s masks from ebay in a couple days. I’ve had my aunt and uncle funneling their stadium swag to me, but sadly they sold tonight’s tickets.
Going tonight
I kind of wish I had tickets for tomorrow instead. I think it will be a lot of fun. But then again I like all those crazy giveaways at minor league games.
In honor of free give-away's...
…next year’s theme will honor Vanna White, the queen of free giveaways. Everyone will receive free blond wigs, perfectly white false teeth and “The Price Is Right” T-Shirts. Everyone will be required to pose with a free box of Kraft Mac & Cheese for 10 minutes.
It’s for a Guinness Book of World Records…any complaints? Sometimes, you just have to take one for the team…
Why are there any people mad at this?
It’s free stuff…which is always awesome. Free stuff should be funny and tacky, and that’s exactly what it this is. It’s marketing genius, and I will fall for it every time.
I'll be there
can’t wait it’s going to be fun. I really hope that everyone participates… even the snobs… yes we do have snobs.
Cautious yet very optimistic about the 2011 Season. Go Angels.
Lol
I love how the Angels actually promote events like these. They really are fun and really make people wanna go to games.
Speaking of wrestling....
I just realized that Tito Ortiz and Hank Conger both went to Huntington Beach High School…come to think of it, has anyone ever seen them both anywhere at the same time? I think I know what the mask is for tonight….
