I know that dock. It's a nice choice. I'd like to see them paint the caps on the posts the pier rises up and down on in scarlet, black and white. If they add a "00", that would be cool too.
You'd think the bleacher report could have found a damn picture of Duck in a Balzers jersey for the article
Some players get streets named after them, but Duckworth gets a dock? Is that so the local ducks can swim up and pay their regards?
Yeah, he was on a few fishing shows too for guest appearances. I still don't know for sure if the duckworth boats are related to him...
