In strict OBR, a player can make a catch in a dugout, but the Major Leagues have outlawed this entirely and many fields have a ground rule where the dugout is off limits.

I think that's what I had said, at least with respect to pro rules, but thank you for affirming my contention. I got the feeling DG didn't believe me.

I simply stated 7.05c CMT as an exemption for the dugout area, where this particular play is most likely to occur. I'm also curious how the major leagues can have a ground rule that supersedes the playing rules. But I am not a major league umpire so it does not much matter, for games under OBR that are not major league games.
