I love day games, but...

that sun is a PITA for a vampire like myself.  When you're used to night games, sunscreen doesn't even enter the equation.

I guess it is a lesson learned...and a painful few days ahead.

Yup.  Try sitting between turns three and four at Indy for the Brickyard, hungover nonetheless.  Water is your only friend.

Sat in right field at Turner Field in July once.  Braves were playing the Red Sox.  Forgot the sunscreen at home.  There were five of us on the trip, all five us drove home that evening in pure misery.  My friends legs were blood red.

sucks to get sunburned. I can only remember getting burned once in my lifetime and I hardly ever wear sunscreen. I don't know where it comes from but me and my twin brother are naturally pretty brown for white guys born in Central PA.

I keep a small tube clipped to my golf bag and never think to use it.  Muchless if I am in a boat or anything else.

I always have sunscreen in my tackle bag, but never think to use it.  After the Kentucky Lake debacle, sunscreen comes to mind when I hit the water.

It was nice fishing all day Saturday and Sunday and not dealing with a burn.  One would think that as many times as I burned when I was a kid, I'd be totally brown.

When your a Ginger kid like myself, the rays coming off of the Moon can burn you. I have been burnt so bad that i had to miss 2 days of work. Pretty embarasssing phone call that was. So too all my Pale brothers out there. Get the 150 sp  just to be safe and remember to actually use it.

Coppertone, to name one, now have 70 SPF in a clear spray. I much prefer that than to be rubbing the white stuff all over.

I have started using BullFrog Mosquito Coast.  It's a combination SPF30 sunblock and insect repellant.  It's a clear spray that doesn't feel as nasty as the creams and it works extremely well.  

I fished 9 hours last Saturday in the Florida sun and only applied it once.  You could not tell I had been outside.

Hands down, the best sunblock around: http://www.crownlaboratories.com/bluelizard/

LOL! I tried to get rid of my white forehead the other day. Fished all day without my cap. It was the first time in years my forehead had seen the sun. Well it burnt like hell. Got one blister that popped about the size of a nickel. Thought I would put a band-aid on it so my cap wouldn't rub it. When I went to pull it off....GOOD GAWLY OUUUCH!!! It took my skin with it. Kinda cool though, It left a perfect outline of a band-aid.

Sorry Burley, burns hurt worst than anything.

Yep that is the best stuff, and its a local company to Burley and I.  BullFrog is good stuff, but Blue Lizard is the best.  I used to stockpile a samples when going to the races at Bristol for Dad.  He's almost albino like when it comes to sunburns.

[J Francho]

I'm no albino, actually half Native American, but I don't like what long term exposure to the sun does to my skin, and I have a few friends that have actually had melanoma, and they weren't "ginger-kids" either, LOL.  Here's the type of tan I'd get back when I didn't bother with sunblock, My dad and I, just before our annual deep water smallie trip, back in '97:
