Pug Bennett

Justin Titus "Pug" Bennett (February 20, 1874 – September 12, 1935) was an American second baseman in Major League Baseball (MLB).

Bennett would toil in the minor leagues for the next several seasons, spending time with Toledo of the Interstate League, then moving on to the Southern Association, in which he spent the majority of his career, playing for the Shreveport Giants and New Orleans Pelicans in 1902.

While Bennett was quality hitter, batting over .300 for many of his previous seasons, his late start in baseball was working against him.

Bennett would be rewarded as his contract was purchased by the St. Louis Cardinals of the National League.

In 1917, at the age of 43, Bennett pulled the plug on his career, retiring after playing for the Vancouver Beavers.
