Howard K. Duff VIII

Howard K. Duff VIII is the owner of the Duff Stadium.

History
When Homer sees an advertisement for Blockoland, the Simpsons go there and when they leave a part of Lisa's Eiffel Tower is missing and Homer goes to the park and gets the piece and decides to help people with their problems. Homer then goes to Moe's Tavern after a hard day of work and Lenny says that ever since Duff Beer has owned the stadium the Springfield Isotopes have not won a game and he wants a refund. Homer then goes to talk to Howard K. Duff VIII the boss and discovers that he is moving the team to Alberquerque. Homer tries to tell the news this but the room is replaced by a dancer. Homer then goes on a hunger strike to tell everyone the truth but no one believes him and when a bunch of people see Homer, Howard K. Duff uses Homer as an attraction in the field. Homer is then hungry and is offered a hot dog and all the toppings are ones from Alberquerque. Everybody then learns the truth and become enraged at Howard. Howard again tries to lie his way out of it, but the crowd orders him to tell the truth. He refuses and orders Duffman to get rid of Homer, but Duffman turns against him and throws Howard out of the stadium.

He is later seen once again when Tabitha Vixx and Buck Mitchell reunite with each other after a rough patch in their marriage.

Duff is one of the Vultures on Vulture's Nest and is introduced on the show as "Malt Disney".
