<p>Daniel E. Dugdale played on many East Coast and Midwestern baseball teams before he arrived in Seattle in 1898 with plans to go to the Klondike.  Instead he stayed in Seattle, worked as a grip man on the cable cars while speculating in real estate and managing and owning some of Seattle's early baseball teams.  In 1898 he established the Klondikers and the Pacific Northwest League.  Involved with various teams throughout the years, five Northwestern League pennants were won and many future major league players created. His namesake baseball park at 12th and Yesler was built in 1907 but burned in an arson fire in 1932. After 1919, Dugdale's involvement with baseball was as a local commissioner for the state semi-professional association until his death in 1934 in which he was struck by a City Light truck while crossing a Seattle street.
This undated photograph of Dugdale presenting a basket of flowers to Wade 'Red' Killefer, the Seattle Indians manager from 1923 to 1927, in Dugdale stadium could be from 1924 Pacific Coast League pennant win by the Indians.</p>
