First of all, I want to thank you readers. After all of the awesome suggestions from my Raúl Mondesi post a couple of weeks ago, I figured I'd give you, the readers, a chance to choose this week's Forgotten Yankee inductee. For all of you who voted in the poll from my Kevin Maas post, you didn't disappoint. You demanded Shelley Duncan, so I will give you Shelley Duncan!
If you want to talk about former Yankee David Shelley Duncan, you have to start with his family. Shelley is the son of former big league catcher Dave Duncan, who played for 11 years with the Royals, Athletics, Indians and Orioles from 1964-1976, and then acted as the primary pitching coach for legendary manager Tony La Russa for basically 30 years, with stops on the White Sox, A's and Cardinals.
