I just wanted to make a quick comment about how teams choose what side of the field will be the home dugout. My experience is that it has everything to do with the direction the ballpark is sitting. The sun set's in the west, so depending on which direction the stadium is facing, teams will usually choose to not sit facing the sun. The majority of the games are played at 7:05pm, when that blinding sun is radiating into the dugout. <BR/><BR/>Not sure how factual it is, but that is what I have always heard. Seem's to hold true for a majority of the stadiums I have visited too! <BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Steve BooneSteve Boonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15512627334243123034noreply@blogger.com
