Named after Negro League standout Ted "Double Duty" Radcliffe, the Double Duty Classic (DDC) is a celebration of the best inner-city high school players in the country. Since 2007, the DDC has served as a way to remember the history and tradition of Negro League Baseball in Chicago. Additionally, it has presented the next generation’s top prospects with an opportunity to shine in front of coaches, scouts and their community while also remembering the Negro Leaguers who made these opportunities available.
