Danville buys Willie to win pennant in stage voice
A seasonal pennant tale follows Willie who warns the crowd as Danville wins the clincher. Duke’s early career spans North Carolina State College 1933 and Jackson Mississippi 1934, with later stops in Memphis, Atlanta, New Orleans, Durham, Danville and Minneapolis. He served three war years aboard the USS Oklahoma as a Navy gunnery officer and dominated minors with a 385 batting mark in Durham and leading the Southern League in homers in 1938. A Dodgers sale denied his major league chance, despite a bold plea to Larry MacPhail.
