Laying Out Your Ball field
1. Determine how the sun impacts ballplayers.
It’s important to know where the sun will be at the time of day when most games will be played. It can affect every player on the diamond. Ideally, try to keepthe sun out of the batter’s line of sight. It can be dangerous for a batter to try to pick up a pitch when looking directly, or even indirectly, into the sun. It is safest to keep the sun entirely behind the batter’s head.Make sure the sun angle will impact as few fielders as possible, too. The best angle for both batters and fielders is to have the centerline of the field run from southwest to northeast with home plate at the southwestern end. The centerline of the field is the imaginary line running from the back point of home plate (the apex) through the middle of 2nd base, and on out to centerfield.

Like commuting to Manhattan from Bergen County NJ....blinding sunrises and sunsets...imagine how many accidents and/or traffic delays from sun glare. That what I thought of when Cowboys 1 bailed on the one blinding catch
