As I read the news this week of former Cardinal Chris Duncan’s ongoing battle with cancer, one moment flashed back from my memory. It wasn’t a pivotal moment or something that lingered in the news past the next day’s box score. But it’s a moment I witnessed and will never forget.
In 2006, I saw Chris Duncan hit the most majestic home run I have ever seen.
What I remember is this: I was at Dodger Stadium, seated in the lower bowl about even with the first baseman. It was the middle innings of what had been a fairly uneventful game.
