Todd was a native of Troy, New York. His professional playing career began at the advanced age of 26 in 1928 at the lowest level—then Class D—of minor league baseball. He reached the majors as a 30-year-old rookie in 1932, and spent the next nine full seasons in the big leagues. His best years came in 1937 and 1938 as a member of the Pirates. Todd led all National League catchers in games caught each year, batted .307 and .265 respectively, and drove home 86 and 75 runs batted in.

During the 1938 offseason, Todd was traded to the Boston Bees, then to the Dodgers. In 1939, he platooned with left-handed-hitting Babe Phelps and batted .278 for the Dodgers. He then finished his MLB playing tenure with the Cubs. He was the Cubs' most-used catcher in 1940, starting 98 games, but it was his last full campaign in the major leagues.
