The official website says nothing other than what I quoted above, so apparently it is just for looks.

I use Tifosi sunglasses (made for bicyclists and sold in bike shops). They have interchangeable lens. I've found the yellow ones to be good on days with a high thin overcast or in very hazy conditions. The clear ones are good for keeping bugs out of your eyes when riding a bike -- but of no particular use on a softball field.

I don't know. Some of these Texas softball fields in late spring have hordes of bugs in all varieties! They may come in useful here!

Scott,

Someone has too much time on his hands. Are you experiencing a shortage of game assignments?

I think he needs to do some double fist pumping.

You know, around here, the "proper" mechanic for that double fist pump thing is to slap your open palm of your right hand onto the top of a closed fist on your left hand.

I have found that the clear lenses are great for night games. Keeps the dust and dirt out of your eyes. I am sure everyone else in here works on pristine, well moistened fields and hence dust is not an issue. However, for me dust is a daily occourance and the clear lenses keep me from stopping the game to rub it out of my eyes.

Sadly, neither. That is probably why I am noticing things like the tifosi deal, I am just plain crazy with fatigue!
