MLB Fans Had So Many Jokes About Padres’ Overcrowded Dugout in Spring Training

The San Diego Padres opened spring training against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday in what was the first official baseball game of the season, and everyone in the organization wanted a front-row seat.

The beginning of spring training always features the most players on the team, as minor leaguers and non-roster invitees try to prove they are worth making the big league roster. 

In the first inning of the game, Spectrum SportsNet LA panned to the Padres dugout, showing what seemed to be every Padre in camp this year in the dugout to watch the game.

Once the television broadcast showed the Padres’ overstuffed dugout, fans had their jokes about how many people were trying to fit into the bench area.

Unfortunately the Dodgers put up eight runs on the Padres in that inning, adding a new level of jokes for some fans.

Just making it to spring training is a big deal for a lot of baseball players, and the Padres wanted to make sure they all got to see at least one game from the dugout.
