At the end of the inning, I asked the opposing coach if he wanted me to keep my glasses off and he just laughed and hollered to the 1st coach, "the man wears glasses all the time, get off his back". Needless to say, I never heard a peep from the first coach for the rest of the game.

By the way, I've been wearing glassed for 45 years.
Nobody makes any comments about my sunglasses unless they want to get the rest of the game off or get a really strong rebuke.

I once had a coach yell out from the third base box, "Maybe if you weren't wearing those sunglasses, you'd have seen that play." In my mind, this is no different than him saying, "You're blind, blue."

I'll wear sunglasses wherever I want and whenever I want. I'm certainly not going to stand there and squint.
