After high school, Duane signed with the Chicago Cubs, pitching one year in the minors and then injured his leg.
He attended Stetson University and played football for his old coach, Joe Berry.
He later signed with the New York Yankees, but after one season his arm went out.

Jeanine spends her time between Flint, Michigan and Clear Lake..north of West Branch.
She has two children and five grandchildren.
She retired in 1989 from Michigan Bell with thirty years service.
She and Bud spent their summers in Michigan and winters on the road in Mexico, California, Arizona, Texas and Florida.
Jeanine loves being in or on the water, and likes the outdoors, music, reading, movies, biking, dancing, exploring everything and anything, traveling, God, her family, and people in general.
For fifty years, it's been a hair-raising roller coaster ride with exciting and scary highs, lows, dips and curves...she says.
Will there be one more loop before the end?
I hope so!
