I've not had to have a sun delay but it could happen on some fields. I know there have been times on two of our fields where a ball hit to right field might be tough to call fair/foul. And a ball thrown from that area might be tough to see.

Since it may only be ten minutes before it becomes safe again, it might be a considered alternative to taking one's chances....
