Tom HuffordI've dealt with Duane Ward a couple of times, before I knew who he was. One time I noticed someone with a bunch of real vintage stuff - as well as quite a few 1980's Toronto Blue Jays autographed balls - listed on ebay. I ended up getting a 1913 Washington Senators signed ball and some others, and the transactions were under the name "D. Ward." When he later listed a number of Duane Ward Blue Jays jerseys, I put two and two together (took me a while), and figured out who he was. I told him I'd enjoyed seeing him pitch with the Braves, and wished that he could have stuck around a few more years in Atlanta.
