Ted "Double Duty" Radcliffe died August 10, 2005, at age 103 I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Radcliffe in Chicago about 15 years ago at a local establishment (if I'm not mistaken, I think it might have been the bar "Sluggers" on Clark). WGN TV had an event for a documentary that it produced on the negro leagues, and Mr. Radcliffe was one of the stars of the event. I was also able to meet Vernon Jarrett at the time, which was a great thrill for me.
Mr. Radcliffe was very gracious, and he was funny. He will be missed.
