Camden Finney inspired by past, Dan Dugdale

"Great-great-great-niece of the Father of Seattle Baseball" is one title for Camden Finney, but her email signature reads, "Sr. Marketing Manager, Seattle Mariners."

Finney holds a distant family tie to the late Dan Dugdale, a man who received a lot of the credit for bringing baseball to the Pacific Northwest.

"I found out maybe middle school or high school that we had this family history of baseball," Finney said. "My parents had always brought us to Mariners games when we were young, and that's where my love for baseball developed."

Dugdale -- a recent inductee into the Washington Sports Hall of Fame -- was a catcher in the Major Leagues the 1880s, but would end up having a much larger impact off the field.
