Hey guys,

I just picked up this Carlos Ruiz chest protector (thanks Howard!) and after looking at photos, I figured out that Ruiz wore this style for road games during the 2007 season.

Below are two photos that I am pretty sure are matches, but I'd love your opinions.

First, the chest protector itself:

Game Photo #1 (June 10, 2007):

Game Photo #2 (June 24, 2007):

When I zoom in on the high-res photos, it looks like there is a pretty nice match to a whit thread pull:

What do you all think?

Thanks,

This will likely be debated, but I think that looks like a match to me.

Seems like a strech to me if a single thread pull is the only way too match it!
