About the Series

Softball meets deduction.

Dugout Detectives turns a player roster into a full-scale logic mystery.

The Idea

A mystery built from names.

Readers begin with 50,000 names and use each evidence file to eliminate players until only one Championship MVP remains.

The online roster and verification tools extend the experience beyond the book, giving every solver a place to search, test, and close the case.
