it seems that sometimes the designers of the field are on drugs because there is the Northside field where i have called a game before. the sun SETS on days in the baseball time, directly in relation to the delivery of the ball of the pitcher, ie. right behind the mound.

this is a stupid design and most umpires hate it because you have to stop the game if a player says he can not see in order to protect the playes. It is dangerous to not only the players but the umpire too.

recently an umpire told me i should not wear glasses behind the dish, but i look at it his way. if i can not see whats comming in because the sun is in my eyes i am robbing the pitcher of his pitches, and the game in general so i will wear the glasses if i need too
