Great replies! But none answered the real question as to "why" dugouts were dug out.
The semi-official reason (supposely) was so the fans could have a better (less obstructed) view of the game. Another theory was that it would be safer for the players. (Not sure if they had fences and such back then.)
So, can anyone actually document either of these theories?
Was it safety? Or was it the fan's view that made them "dig out" a place for the players to sit?
