Baseball 1968-1970

Duane was a starting middle infielder for the Falcons during the 1969 and ‘70 seasons. Playing for what was then Centerville Community College, he was named first–team all–region, first–team all–district and honorable mention All–American. He had numerous chances to start his pro career while in Centerville, but, after being taken in the MLB draft a handful of times, he opted to continue his college career. After graduating from Centerville Community College, Duane continued his baseball career at Southern Illinois University and then signed with the Cleveland Indians in 1972. He played 11 seasons in the major leagues with the Indians and later with the San Francisco Giants. He is still a respected member of the Giants organization as their play-by-play broadcaster and has won seven local Emmys throughout his career. He was voted by Cleveland Indians fans as one of the 100 best players in Indians' history.
