dugouts

Dugouts are specific types of shelters or structures typically associated with outdoor activities, historically used by various cultures. In a general context, a dugout refers to a cavity or shelter dug into the ground, providing protection from the elements. They can also refer to small boats, usually made from hollowed-out logs, used by indigenous peoples and other communities. In sports, particularly baseball, the term describes the area where players and coaches sit during a game, providing them a designated space to strategize and observe the action on the field.
