I have always worn sunglaases on the bases in the daytime, but had never done so behind the plate until last year, when I did a HS game at a school I had never been to. As the sun set, it set in left center field, closer to center than left, and seeing the ball out of the pitcher's hand was a real chore. I was very uncomfortable. There is another field I work at fairly regular where the sun sets directly on the left field foul pole. I have had some fair/foul and foul/HR calls there that were very difficult. In fact, at this field I go over this situation in pre-game if the sun will be anywhere near to setting by the time the game ends. Now, I wear sunglasses behind the plate fairly routinely if I think it will help me see the ball.
