Pat Duncan from the Chronology

Sep 3, 1933 - At Cincinnati‚ the Reds clip the Pirates‚ 9-3‚ the first loss for the Bucs in 9 games. The Pirates now trail the Giants by 8 games. Red Lucas goes all the way for the win‚ as the Reds shell rookie Ralph Birkofer. After the game‚ Edd Roush's old-timers defeat Buck Herzog's Nine‚ 8-5‚ called after 5 innings on account of "tiredness." Ninety three old timers turn out and about half take a turn at the plate. Roush's squad includes Pat Duncan‚ Larry Kopf‚ Bill Rariden‚ and Rube Bressler‚ all stars on the Reds 1919 team. Donie Bush and Honus Wagner are the shortstops.

Aug 23, 1923 - Reds 2B Sammy Bohne and OF Pat Duncan deny under oath that they have been approached to throw games with the Giants.

Aug 7, 1923 - The Giants beat the Reds‚ 6-2‚ to sweep the five game series with Cincinnati. Collier's Eye‚ a sporting sheet‚ will allege that Reds' players Pat Duncan and Sammy Bohne had been approached by gamblers who offered them $15‚000 to lose the series. The players will be called before NL head John Heydler‚ and later the two will sue the publication for slander before settling out of court.

Oct 1, 1922 - The second place Reds sweep a pair from the visiting Pirates, winning 5-4 and 5-1. Wilbur Cooper (23-14) takes the opening loss, as he’s done in by 4 unearned runs. The Reds Pat Duncan is caught stealing for the 28th time in 40 attempts.

Jun 2, 1921 - Reds OF Pat Duncan is the first to hit a fair ball out of Redland Field since it was built in 1912‚ the ball hitting the leg of a surprised policeman on York Street. Duncan will hit just one more homer all year. The homer‚ off Cards P Marv Goodman‚ propels the Reds to an 8-5 win.

May 29, 1921 - At Redland Field‚ Pittsburgh's Clyde Barnhart hits a 9th inning line drive down the RF line that gets lost in tarp in front of the grandstand. By the time RF Pat Duncan finds the ball‚ Barnhart scores his first ML homer inside-the-park to tie the match at 2-2. Eppa Rixey gives up the homer but holds on for a 4-3‚ 13-inning victory. It is the only homer Rixey will allow in 301 innings pitched‚ and just one of 2 homers Reds pitchers will allow at home this season. Except for this‚ Rixey would have set the record for post-dead ball pitchers‚ a record that Allen Sothoron will post this year in fewer innings.

Apr 21, 1912 - Reds SS Jimmy Esmond‚ a .195 hitter‚ hits the first HR at Redland (later‚ Crosley) Field‚ off Bill Steele. The inside-the-park blow is his only roundtripper of the year. Nobody will hit one out of the Cincinnati park until Pat Duncan does it on June 2‚ 1921. Esmond's 3-run homer leads the Reds to a 7-1 over the Cardinals.
