Todd Todd Coffey (as it’s listed on Reds.com) was born in Shelby, North Carolina on September 9, 1980. He graduated from Chase High School in Forest City, North Carolina.

He used to have a bit of a weight problem, but he’d slimmed down considerably, much to the benefit of his game. Nevertheless, he still professes to be a fan of the banana and mayonnaise sandwhich and has an abiding love of Jell-o.

He’s also a Trekkie. What’s not to like about this guy?

According to his bio on Reds.com, Coffey participated in the 2006 Reds Winter Caravan. He was not at the Indianapolis stop unfortunately, but I did get to chat him up during spring training.
