I watched Duke at 51 hit one off the wall on Old Timer’s Day in NY in 1971. Kenny Holtzman pitched afterward that day, and lost.
NYY was 0 for 3 with me in attendance at old-new Yankee Stadium. Friends who are fans tell me not to come back. :-)
Oops, that was 1977.

Kenny Holtzman. I looked up his name just last night. Baseball was fun in the 70s. Reds, Pirates, A’s, Orioles throughout the decade. Great teams, personalities.
