Regarding the pitcher wearing sunglasses, I am not sure. It wouldn't seem "right", but I don't have anything to back me up.
When I am umpiring on sunny days, I always wear my sunglasses behind the plate. If people think it affects how you see things, then why do people wear sunglasses when they drive their cars?
Also, when I'm playing afternoon games I wear them for the whole game, whether I am in the field or at bat. Most teammates will wear them on defense, but then take them off to hit. I don't like this, as I am constantly at the same level of brightness if I keep them on. If I am pitching, I take off everything though... ie - sunglasses, wristbands, etc...
