The Duluth Dukes played as such for just nine seasons in the likely time-frame (1934-42) and their rosters are relatively
( relatively) well documented at http://www.baseball-reference.com/ -- photos of the team's very few eventual major leaguers
even showed some suspects -- and there have to be some extant team pictures or other ephemera that could identify your guy.
Many's the time we've hit a brick wall on some artifact in our own collecting niche and had to put it on the back burner for...
years, in some cases -- only to have have some tidbit of information show up unexpectedly and relate to a second thing
that's similar to a third thing which leads us to the answer about the first thing. |
Thanks. I checked some of pictures I could find of Dukes players in the majors but there were some I couldn't find. I found a couple team pictures but couldn't get them to come up big enough to do any comparison. The tidbit of information showing up unexpectedly was oh so true when I and my cousin were researching the family name. I hit a dead as he did but several years later a person responded with some obscure information that opened the flood gates and he was able to take us back to the 1600's.
