Tony La Russa Asks Cardinals Nation to Keep Chris Duncan in Your Thoughts
The former Cardinals player and current radio jock is battling another cancer diagnosis.
It was announced on Monday afternoon that former St. Louis Cardinals player and the co-host of a popular sports radio talk show in St. Louis, Chris Duncan, would be permanent leaving the station to face his fight with cancer. This is the second time since his retirement from baseball in 2009 that he's left work for medical reasons.

Duncan's former manager with the Cardinals, Tony La Russa says he "saved out season" in 2006 and helped the team in winning a World Series that year. La Russa asked for the thoughts of Cardinals Nation to help Duncan in his fight.
In 2006 we got into Oct on the last day. @chrisduncan11’s 20 2nd half HRs with several key players on DL saved our season and became WS #10. His on field courage is with him off field as well! Cardinals Nation has you in their thoughts. https://t.co/1tmxis5GkZ
— Tony La Russa (@TonyLaRussa) January 8, 2019Duncan played parts of five years in the majors, all with St. Louis – including the 2006 World Series season. He since has been on the radio with 101 ESPN's show "The Turn."
In 2011, after helping his mother fight brain cancer, he later found out he also had a similar diagnosis.
Duncan left radio to fight brain cancer earlier in 2018, but later returned. There's been a strong outpouring for support since the news came out.
Dunc will be taking a permanent leave from 101 ESPN to continue his fight against cancer and focus on health. If you pray, please keep him in your prayers. If you don't, keep him in your thoughts. He is our brother and we miss him deeply@AnthonyStalter @Bettlach101ESPN
