My Take

Dukes is the kind of name only real baseball fans recall, and that is exactly why I find him worth a second look. A right-handed outfielder from Homestead, Florida, he reached the Major Leagues with Tampa Bay and Washington, a feat that filters out all but the most gifted athletes on the planet. Careers like his rarely make headlines for longevity, but simply standing in a big-league outfield is an achievement most players only dream of. I am drawn less to the stat line than to the journey from a Florida high school to the top tier of the sport.

Overview

Elijah David Dukes, Jr. (born June 26, 1984) is an American former professional baseball player. A right-handed outfielder, he played in Major League Baseball for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and Washington Nationals.
