Sad news. Great player but more importantly a good person. I looked at the biographies in the Obits and none of them mentioned him working on the Expos Broadcasts in the '60's and '70's.

Was I hallucinating all those years?

Edit I checked and he did Expos Broadcasts from 1973-1986. I hope somebody does a professional obit for him.

RIP Duke - I really enjoyed listening to you doing Expos broadcasts. Very knowledgeable and entertaining.

RIP Duke. One of the first "old time" baseball players I ever learned about, thanks to Pacific All Time Greats baseball cards in the late '80s.

RIP Duke. Sad news to hear especially as I just watched the 50's portion of Ken Burns Baseball documentary just yesterday.
