RIP Duke Snider. The Duke.

One of the greats when baseball was about bubble gum cards and autographs, not contracts and performance enhancers.

The Duke of Flatbush is a very badass nickname if you think about it.

You know this guy beat up a few motherfuckers in a few bars in his day.

Probably beat the hell out of someone and they bought him a drink afterwords.
