The Dook has always been my fave, since the '55 Serious, so of course I made it a point to attend his retirement ceremony at the Stadium. It was fabulous: while the announcer introduced him and extolled his many accomplishments, the center field fence opened and Duke walked in, all the way to home plate, flanked by Willie Mays and Joe DiMaggio, two of the three other great NY center fielders contemporaneous with Duke's Brooklyn era (I don't know where the Mick was).
A shame that Bill North had the gall to take that number before it was retired. A .220 hitter with no power and adequate fielding. . . sheesh.
