In today's world of prevention of dangerous situations we need to use some common sense.
Sunglasses ar protecting the players from the suns UV Rays as well as glare. If you declare that the player is not able to use this protection and an injury occurs then who is going to be responsible?
As a matter of fact I am happy that they are letting umpires wear sunglasses during games. I had a cornea transplant 2 years ago and wear hard contacts. I live with my Oakleys during the day. Yes I do wear them on the plate, durin most games. Division 1 college has issues still. But in youth and high school I wear them and do not get dust and dirt in my sensitive eyes.
Again, what is the problem with prevention as well as avoiding glare and other situations?
