On 4 July 1914 Scientific American reported on the "latest in baseball": sunglasses, the invention of Pittsburgh manager Fred Clarke. "The glasses are rivettcd to the peak of the cap and work on a hinge. When not needed to shield the eyes, the glasses rest against the peak of the cap. When a ball is hit, the fielder wearing a pair of these new glasses simply touches the rim of the glasses, and they fall down in front of his eyes and give him a chance to see the approaching ball while looking directly into the sun. There is no chance for them to fall off the cap, and the fielder does not have to look through dark glasses all the time."
