If the pitcher's undershirt sleeves are exposed, they shall not be white or gray. A pitcher shall not wear any item on his hands, wrists or arms which may be distracting to the batter.

Now I've never gotten any complaints about F1 wearing normal sunglasses (never ran into the mirrored variety) but I am sure that some coach, somewhere may try to extend FED 1-4-2 to include sunglasses.

Personally, if F1 needs sunglasses in order to see properly, I am not going to say a word. Hell, the batter should be looking for the ball and that is usually somewhere around F1's hand, isn't it?
