Sad to hear that CDO grad Chris Duncan, who played for the St. Louis Cardinals from 2005-09, is again being treated for a brain tumor. Duncan, 35, has taken a leave from his job as a sports-talk personality at St. Louis’ ESPN101 WXOS. “This tumor keeps popping up so I’ve got to do something about it,” Duncan said on WXOS last week. “So I’m going to step aside for a little bit, take a little bit of a medical break, and focus on one thing instead of multiple things.” Duncan was inducted into the Pima County Sports Hall of Fame last October.
