Why are the American League All Stars coming out of the first base dugout in a National League park? Is Pittsburgh one of those teams that sits in the third base dugout? If not why are they there?

I'm only mad at the fact that I can't vote for a best answer right when I get one, the person who told me that the pirates sit on the third base side was in fact correct and I verified it and I could not stop the other people from answering wrong dumb answers. To correct them, I say: Since every year they alternate between AL and NL stadiums, they put the teams as if they were playing interleague, home team is NL and away team is AL, also no DH, pitcher must hit, and stuff like that, next year will be AL stadium, AL will have DH as well as NL, and they will bat second as if they are the home team.

Yes, the Pirates home dugout is on the third base side. See the seating chart cited below.

Most NL clubs have the home team on the third base side.

Since the AL (Chisox) won the World Series last year, they are considered the home team. And the first base side is the hometeam side.

It is because the American League won last year, so they are considered the "Home Team".

Why are you so mad? I think these people are trying to help. Stop looking for an argument. maybe you should go to a local bar and yell at the patrons there about the game.

How can you be angry at the people who don't know the answer when you originally did not know that answer yourself? Relax. You're not asking experts here. You've posted a public question and these people are just trying to be nice and help you out with what they know. If you're just going to attack people for their answers, don't bother posting questions on here.
