I only wear sunglasses on the plate when the sun's right in my face. I only *don't* wear them on the bases at night or when it's completely overcast with no chance of sun. I haven't embraced the yellow lenses yet.

But being told I couldn't wear them? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

I agree with you about the sun visor. Maybe he doesn't want the brim fade.

I've never worn sunglasses while behind the plate but I don't think it's a big deal for those that do.

For players the sunglasses have become a fashion statement. I've always been amazed at players who make sure they're on their hat during night games.

Don't be, as they're getting paid to do so. I had an Oakley sponsorship years ago, and any time I was on a bike, wearing my uniform or representing my team, I was to wear my Oakleys. On my hat/helmet/head or on the front of my jersey. It was part of the agreement.
