Why do certain MLB teams have their home dugouts on the 3rd base side?

Answer 1

I played Baseball for 16 years and on my high school team my coach liked to do the same thing. He said it was so the sun wasnt alway in our face and he would always be the third base coach so he didnt want to walk all the way around the field every inning. Makes sense. Im sure every coach has their reason.

Answer 2

Some teams prefer to have their home dugouts on the third-base side. Others prefer the first-base side. The San Francisco Giants are one of 12 major-league teams who prefer the former location. The others: Arizona, both Chicago teams, Cleveland, Detroit, both Los Angeles area teams, Miami, Oakland, Pittsburgh and Toronto.

Answer 3

All Major League Home team dugouts are on the first base side except the Chicago Cubs

Answer 4

Because the first base side is usually the home team side. Since the Yanks are always the home team at Yankee Stadium, that's where they put the dug out. :-)

Answer 5

Everyone does

Answer 6

Just to be different.
