I don't know about the rest of you, but in the spring and fall in Florida, you need sunglasses just to be able to see from the C slot on many fields. If they help me see the play better and protect my eyes, I'm ignoring the senior guys who say they aren't professional-looking. Now, at the plate conference, or if a coach comes out to talk, I take them off so we can look eye-to-eye.

Agreed! I had LASIK surgery a couple of years ago and I'm much more sensitive to light now. I wear polarized sunglasses on the field and at the plate.
