    We called it a dugout. It was stored in a little wooden case, and the weed was stored in a separate chamber in the same case.

      Nah, the pinch hitter was the pipe, the dugout was the little wooden case the pinch hitter went back into after their hit.

      Both aspects are baseball metaphors, just like a batter goes back to the dugout if they strike out or get a home run.

      Why do I know this I don’t even like baseball.
