Richard Todd From city sandlots to early non-player involvement with an MLB franchise, Richard has pursued a life-long love of baseball. An active volunteer coach for 25 years now, and a continuing student of the game, he founded WebBall in 1996 to give his own team an internet resource for tips and drills. The growth and recognition since continues to astound him. What began as a hobby was turned, of necessity, into a business in 1999 to cover the costs, and incorporated in 2002 to manage the enterprise. Despite business responsibilities, and sometime duties in league administration and coaching conferences, Richard is still happiest when working on field with players and in conversation with fellow coaches. Send an 'Ask the Coach' email to WebBall and it's most likely Richard who will answer. (Click to close.)
