Heat of the moment, A-rod said lets go and singled w/ his hand... I doubt teck even thought of the mask.

Teck was doing what every other catcher in the league would do, you always get between the batter and your pitcher, and A-rod didn't go right down to first, he was there mouthhing off to the pitcher and Teck said go take your base (not in those nice words).
