About the Dugout
Baseball Todd's Dugout began as one fan's tribute to the ballplayers who made him love the game. Over the years it grew into an archive of player profiles, baseball stories, predictions and record lists, built from interviews, card collections and a lot of grip-and-grin photos at old-timers games.
