Contents Biography Growing up in Southern California, Duke was a gifted all around athlete and strong armed quarterback at Compton high school who could reportedly throw the football 60 yards on the fly. Spotted by one of Branch Rickey's birddog scouts in the early 1940s, he was signed to a baseball contract out of high school. He played briefly for Montreal in the International League in 1944 (batting twice) and for the Newport News in the Piedmont League in the same year. Serving in the military in 1945, he came back to play for Fort Worth in 1946 and for St Paul in 1947. He played well and earned a shot with the Big Club (Brooklyn) later that year. He started the next season (1948) with Montreal and after tearing up that league with a .327 batting average, he was called up to Brooklyn during mid season for good.In 1949 he came into his own, hitting 23 home runs accompanied with 92 runs batted in , also helping the Dodgers break into the World Series .

From that large network of teams, a number of young talented players began to blossom at the same time: Snider, Hodges, Erskine, Ralph Branca , Clem Labine , Furillo, Campanella, Don Newcombe , Joe Black and Jim Gilliam .By 1949, Snider, as he matured, became the triggerman in a powerladen line-up which boasted the likes of Jackie Robinson , Pee Wee Reese , Roy Campanella , Gil Hodges and Carl Furillo .
