To wear sunglasses or not to wear sunglasses?

I've never heard a player complain about this. Nor seen any effects in my players.

If you think it will be a problem, I do not think ti will be, have him learn the old method of using the glove to shade the eyes from the sun. We never wore sunglasses---another lost art of baseball

What gets me is the players wearing the sunglasses on the top of their hats--what good does that do?

Haha TR, I wondered about that too with teh glasses on the hat.
On a more serious note, as an outfielder, I hated sunglasses. The darkness from it hindered my ability to read and track the ball of the bat.
But that's just me. But when it comes to everyone think about this....the sun is ******* powerful and bright, no matter if you wear the glasses or not, if a fly ball is hit in the sun, the sun is gonna blind you no matter what for that time that you're trying to track the ball in the sun. So my advice would be to teach everyone the 'gloveshade' method regardless of how strong or how sensitive their eyesite. As for wearing glasses i think it's a personal preference. I myself can't read the ball off the bat as well since it's a bit too dark for my eyes, yet simply the glare off the fan seats may be enough for someone with very sensitive eyes to wear glasses.

Bottom line: if you can't catch/judge the ball with them on, ditch em. And vice versa.

Our home field has a glare that shines off the school building so sun glasses are essential to playing baseball.
There is a small adjustment period for the guys when they start wearing them, but after a week or so of practice, they've made the adjustment no problem.
Practice with the glasses for awhile, then it should be comfortable.

Get good ones, Oakleys or the equivalent. Especially if you intend to ever use them while you are hitting. I wanted to get some M Frames, but they were a bit over my budget, so I ended up getting the basic level model, and they are great, no distortion whatsoever, and do not slip off either.
