Duke Sims

Duane B. "Duke" Sims (born June 5, 1941, Salt Lake City, Utah) was a professional baseball catcher, first baseman, outfielder, and designated hitter who played eleven Major League seasons from 1964 to 1974. He appeared for the Cleveland Indians, Los Angeles Dodgers, Detroit Tigers, New York Yankees, and Texas Rangers. Sims holds the record for most career home runs (100) among MLB players born in Utah and was the last batter to hit a home run in the original Yankee Stadium. Before reaching the majors, he spent parts of eight seasons in the minors, earning multiple all-star selections and a Silver Glove award for his work behind the plate.
