The younger brother of Jack Baggott, Ron Baggott was a key member of Melbourne's powerful sides of the late 1930s and early 1940s. A superb high mark and a fine kick, he was at centre half forward in the victorious grand finals of 1939, 1940 and 1941. His league career, which was interrupted by the war, saw him play a total of 133 games and kick 310 goals between 1935 and 1942 and in 1945. He also represented the VFL.
