If you think about it, players spend a lot of time in the dugout. Even a regular player probably spends 40% of the game in the dugout. A bench warmer probably spends 90% of his time there. So it's not surprising that there are lots of cards featuring players in the dugout. For one thing, it's an easy place to find a player when he's not moving around too much. How do players spend all that time?
