(Central Islip, N.Y., April 17, 2025) – The Long Island Ducks today announced that former infielder Cody Puckett has been chosen as the 25th member of the franchise’s 25th Anniversary Team.

Puckett currently resides with his family in Las Vegas where he is a plumber for a restoration company and a coach for his son’s little league team.

Every week throughout the offseason leading up to Opening Night of the 2025 campaign, the Ducks will unveil a new member of the franchise’s 25th Anniversary Team.
