I'm watching the Cubs play the Brewers right now here in Chicago and the Cubs got 2 gift runs after the Milwaukee right fielder lost a line drive in the low lights at Wrigley. I realize that an outfielder can lose a baseball in the sunlight, but at least you can use sunglasses. I've played baseball before and lost a 16 inch softball in the sun as the right fielder made a hard throw to me at second base. It was a new rock hard ball and i wound up breaking and dislocating my little finger in 2 places on my left hand. But, there was no part of any structure to block the sun. So, who is a fan of day games, the way i believe games should be played? Who likes night baseball???? Please answer from a fans point of view.
This situation really applies now that this is crunch time for both teams. Do you like to see a game on the line and the outcome could possibly be decided by the lights.

I like either. I don't like that the sun doesn't help and I don't like that the lights don't help either. But sunglasses help for day time games and as for the lights, that doesn't happen as much so I doubt they'll change anything. Although playing day games helps for a team going back home or going to another city, to play a day game so they have that night to go home rather then playing till 10 or 11 o clock and then staying up late into the night to get home and then be tired for the next days game.

The only reason I like night games is so I can see them without missing work.

I think day games should only be on weekends and holidays because work interferes on weekdays. That's a much bigger factor to me than lighting conditions.
