"Dee is a mighty good pitcher. His record for the 1954 season was the best of any Oriole pitcher. He appeared in 25 games, winning 10 and losing 14. His earned run average, a good measure of a pitcher's effectiveness, was a low 3.12, ranking him 12th in the League.
He began in baseball in 1946 with the Yankees' Newark farm and first came to the majors with the Yankees in 1949, after starting the season with Newark. He was traded to the Browns in 1950."

"Duane posted the best E.R.A. of any Oriole hurler last year and enjoyed his finest season since breaking into Baseball in 1946. The son of a former major league hurler, he was originally a Yankee farmhand seeing action with Newark, Portland and Kansas City before joining New York and moving to St. Louis in 1950. In '52 with the Browns, he won 10 games with a 3.60 ERA."
