Sports memorabilia store ‘The Dugout’ opens in Bridgeport

BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. (WBOY) — Local sports fans excitedly lined up on Saturday for the grand opening of a brand-new sports memorabilia store in Bridgeport.

Mosey and Kendra Ruderman unveiled their sports card and memorabilia store, The Dugout, at 2 p.m. The store is inspired by Mosey’s love of collecting sports memorabilia, with part of its inventory containing Mosey’s own collection, which he has been growing since the 1980s.

At the store you can find cards, jerseys, posters, and other collectibles. Some highlights at the shop include a golf ball signed by Mickey Mantle and a batting glove used by Derek Jeter.

“People are excited about this sports card shop, just somewhere where kids can go with their families,” Mosey said. “It’s exciting for us, and we’re just excited for the town.”

The Dugout can be located at 143 East Main St.
