cmh6476 1,023 Posted July 7, 2006 since this has come up for debate, let's discuss since we all know its not at 2nd, which side is it on at stadiums you've been to? Royals (Kauffman): Home: 1st Visitor: 3rd I dont think they are all on the same side, but really not 100% certain... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bammbamm 0 Posted July 7, 2006 well, your club did take 2 of 3 from one of the hottest teams in baseball this week so you got that going for you; which is nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 1,023 Posted July 7, 2006 The side that doesn't look directly into the sun.If neither, the 1B side because it is closer to run back to after an out. i thought home was always in the southwest corner, which is why they call lefties southpaws Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sho Nuff 720 Posted July 7, 2006 Brewers home dugout used to be 1st base side in County Stadium. I thought I read somewhere MLB asked them to move it to 3rd base in the new stadium (though I cannot confirm this). As that is where the home team's dugout was supposed to be. I know the Sounds here in Nashville (Brewers AAA) has their home dugout on the 3rd base side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riddlen 1 Posted July 7, 2006 by rule and/or tradition the 3rd base side is hte home dugout. This is the case in Comerica Park BTW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quickolas1 80 Posted July 7, 2006 by rule and/or tradition the 3rd base side is hte home dugout. This is the case in Comerica Park BTW. then how come 75% of teams have 1st base side as home dugout Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cdub100 3,894 Posted July 7, 2006 http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=392479 The answer apparently is that there is no tradition at all in force today, and it is unclear whether there ever was a uniform one. Here is one aptly named website's take on the subject: "On which side of the field should the home dugout be located? How many Major League parks have the home dugout on the first-base side? "There is no right or wrong answer as to whether the home dugout should be on the first-base side or the third-base side. The major League Baseball Rulebook is silent on the subject. Therefore, let's examine where Major League dugouts are located these days. In the National League, far more are on the first-base side (11 to 5). In the American League, though, it's split evenly, with seven on each side of the field. Even the two oldest parks still in use differ on this point: the Cubs sit on the third-base side at Wrigley while the Red Sox inhabit the first-base dugout at Fenway. then how come 75% of teams have 1st base side as home dugout That's a made up number Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BMoney 0 Posted July 7, 2006 miller park has the home dugout on the first base side... this gives the coaches a chance to watch Bernie Brewer up in his chalet in left field as he steals catchers signs..relaying them by standing on 1 side or the other on the porch... the brewers workout facilities underground and parking are all on the 1st base side...the visiting busses are under the 3rd base side by Fridays..visable to passing fans... the single A wisconsin timber rattlers are on the 3rd base side... the braves and yankees are on the 1st base side.. when the cubs make a 3rd out and kill the rally, they back to the 3rd base side...plus we all remember steroid boys sprint from the dugout..

Quickolas1 80 Posted July 7, 2006 That's a made up number okay, 60%, whatever sherlock. point is there's no 3rd base official rule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sho Nuff 720 Posted July 8, 2006 was at a brewers-tigers game a couple of weeks ago at miller park. the brewers are in the 1st-base dugout. Yeah...trying to remember when I was at Miller Park...it was the first year in there. But I do not recall which dugout. But I do recall something about them changing at one point (maybe while they were still in Co. Stadium. Growing up they were always on the 1st base side.
