Duane Reeder
Duane Reeder (born 1971) is a former catcher for the MLB San Francisco Giants.
Reeder joined the Giants for the 1993 season. He was primarily a backup behind Kirt Manwaring.
Reeder was known as a wide backstop with below-average speed. He remained with the Giants until the end of the 1996 season, when he was released. He joined the Oakland Athletics for spring training in 1997 as a nonroster invitee, but failed to make the roster.
Duane now has his own band, Duaner's Dirty Sanchezes.
Trivia
*On the last day of the 1993 season, Reeder filled in for an injured Manwaring. His clumsiness at concealing signals to the Giants' pitchers, mainly starter Salomon Torres, unwittingly tipped off the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup. Mike Piazza crushed two gigantic homeruns before a delirious Dodger Stadium crowd, and the Dodgers routed San Francisco 12-1 to end the Giants' playoff hopes despite a 103-win season. They finished one game behind Atlanta.
