Jeepers, it gets even stranger with the Duncan! I had to blow the dust off a few books but from what I can see there were FOUR of them according to Riley.
Frank "Dunk" Duncan- born in 1888 was not related to the other 3 and played from 1909 to 1928. He was an outfielder who played for a number of teams, including the Philadelphia Giants, Leland Giants, Chicago American Giants (11-18), Detroit Stars (19) and Chicago Giants (in the database in 1920) and a number of other teams.
Frank Duncan Sr- Father of Junior and the III, he was the catcher that played and managed for a number of years during the 1890's and early 00's.
Frank Duncan Jr- born February 14, 1901 in Kansas City, Mo. He was the star catcher of the KC Monarchs and a number of other teams during the 20's through 40's.
Frank Duncan III- Son of Jr, played for KC during the 40's along with the Baltimore Elite Giants and some time in the MLB minors and the Mexican League in '57.
