Duluth-Superior Dukes Baseball Classic Tee - 1993-2002 Commemorative Edition
Step back to the golden age of independent baseball with this vintage-inspired Duluth-Superior Dukes t-shirt. Playing their home games at Wade Stadium in Duluth, the Dukes were part of the revived Northern League, bringing professional baseball back to the Twin Ports region. For a decade, the Dukes provided affordable family entertainment and high-level independent baseball, featuring both promising prospects and former major leaguers. Despite winning the Northern League Championship in 1997 and maintaining a loyal following, increasing operational costs and declining attendance led to the team's relocation to Kansas City after the 2002 season.
