Raffaello "Ralph" D. Vince (March 18, 1900 – October 29, 1996)[1] was an American football player for the Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Bulldogs, and the Cleveland Panthers. He later coached at Baldwin–Wallace College and John Carroll University. Outspoken and inventive as a coach, he was the inventor of the face mask. The original he created is on display at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.[citation needed] He was the first coach to put an armband of plays on his quarterbacks' wrists, now a common sight in football.[citation needed] He attended Washington & Jefferson College and played in the 1922 Rose Bowl. He is distinguished as being the first Italian to play in the National Football League (NFL).[2][3][4]
