History of the Dugout

[bluezebra]

Baseball was a very popular game during the War Between the States (I refuse to call it a "Civil War"). During the war, trenches were used extensively during many battles. When the war ended, soldiers from both sides dug up these trenches and took them home as souvenirs. Not knowing what else to do with them, they installed them in the local ballfields.
