Dirt in the eyes

[BuggBob]

Thanks for the plug John,

I was doing a tournament game in Pasco, WA. The field, if left unwatered, deteriorates to FINE Volcanic dust (thank you Mount St. Helens). I was on the bases. Batter hits a double slides into 2nd. POOF! Everything -- I mean everything has disappeared in a thick cloud of fine powdery dust. I was less than five feet away from the base, and I can see nothing, no players, no ball, no base. When the dust settles every one looked the same. Gray dusty girls, with a gray dusty man looking for the ball. 2nd base was buried under about four to five inches of dust, the ball was half buried in dust. We were all couching to clear some of the dust from our mouths and lungs. Ten minute delay while they finally put some water on the field.

Bottom line when I took off my goggles, my face was dirty as heck, but the area around my eyes was clean. I have never had any trouble with dust, dirt or mud while wearing the goggles. Just an occasional fog-up in the early spring and late fall games. I wear the blue ones (all Pro APX about $75 from Amazon), because I am blue. I had always been tought to not wear sunglsses on the field, so I don't.
