Player Profile: Brian Duncan


Brian Duncan is a lot of things.   But, one thing he is not is a fu#king coward or an adult film star.  

Not only is Duncan is a defensive stalwart on the BM5, but also the defending Buttermilk Batting Champion.  

Him and his flowing locks can flash the leather all over the field, and he knows it.  Originally, Duncan was the player to be named later in the Melissa Farrell acquisition, but he has proven his worth by being nice to women and children and offering to car pool to games.  

When asked about his role as a leader on the Pancakes, Duncan said, "Seriously, you're writing a blog about our softball team?  No one will read it besides us.  Well, Melissa will read it out loud to me because I am illiterate.  Well not really illiterate.  I read at a 3rd grade level.  Go easy on the big words.  Don't use this quote."  

There was some trouble in "Big D" this offseason.  He snapped a ligament in his knee while playing full contact monopoly in his living room (on a friday night).  It wasn't pretty and it required surgery.  After an extensive rehab program that actually called for vicodin and Bud Light, Duncan is hoping to be ready for opening day.  

Duncan kept busy in his downtime by teaching the neighborhood kids how to play poker and participating in two-hand touch monopoly games.  

When asked about Duncan's recovery, Farrell said, "Brian is walking with a little bit of a limp.  He's really trying to make it look cool.  But, its hard to look cool when you are wearing a knee brace made out of kevlar."

The 2009 BM5 opener is still not scheduled.  However, league officials have promised that it will happen.
