Dugout conduct

[soonerfan]

sounds as if those guys are fairly new to the etiquitte of baseball. you could explain to them that it is for the safety of thier own players. put it to them, "what if one of thier players is going ofter a pop-up near the other dugout and he trips over all thier 'stuff' and injures himslef?" or...what if it's his own dugout?

to me, and i don't have a lot of patience for that stuff, if you don't get it picked up...i will begin to "excuse" people from their duties. that may not be the thing for new people to the game.
