9. The Duncans

Cleveland Indians catcher Dave Duncan met his wife, Tucsonan Jeanine Richey, while in spring training at Hi Corbett Field. They would live in Tucson for 30 years as Dave became one of the most accomplished pitching coaches in baseball history. Their sons, Shelley and Chris, attended Canyon del Oro High School and then combined to play in 718 big-league games; Shelley holds the UA career home run record (55) and is a minor-league manager in the Arizona Diamondbacks system.
