Which dugout does the home team sit in for little league?
There is no official rule regarding home team dugout location. The home team dugout can be found on either side throughout MLB. I can tell you that for as long as I can remember, the Indians always were on the 1st base side at home. Later for some reason, they switched to the 3rd base side. Peter Gammons once explained that teams east of the Mississippi had their dugout on the east side (first base side) of the stadium. While teams west of the Mississippi would have their dugout on the west (third base side) Today some teams with new ballparks have changed this early tradition. Peter Gammons was not correct. The Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox -- both teams in the Major League since it's inception both have their home dugouts on the third base side. The Colorado Rockies and the San Diego Padres have always had their dugouts on the first base side.
Has a professional baseball team ever used the first base side dugout for their home games?
Yes several teams do. The Red Sox dugout is and always has been on the first base side to name one.
What baseball teams were in 1845?
In 1845, baseball teams were not organized on a professional level like they are today. However, amateur baseball teams existed during that time, primarily in the Northeastern United States. Some well-known teams of that era include the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club, the New York Baseball Club, and the Brooklyn Atlantics.
Do shortstops play defense between first base and second base in baseball?
In general short stops play in-between 2nd and 3rd base, but are not required play in that area. Many teams use "the shift" for lefties that are pull hitters (typically pull the ball to right field) and play their short stop just to the first base side of second base for these batters.
If a player in baseball misses first base when running and goes to second base and stands there and is tagged by the second baseman are they out?
yes
