Durham began his professional career in the Negro Leagues with the Chicago American Giants,〔(The Baltimore Sun, 1995.09.21 )〕 then was signed by Bill Veeck, president of the St. Louis Browns, prior to the 1953 season. He was in the Browns' farm system when the franchise moved to Baltimore, Maryland, in . After an outstanding season in the Double-A Texas League in 1954, he was recalled by the Orioles in September and in ten games collected nine hits in 44 plate appearances, including his first Major League home run off Al Sima of the Philadelphia Athletics on September 12.〔(1954-9-12 box score from Retrosheet )〕 Durham then missed the 1955–1956 seasons performing military service.
He began the season in the Texas League — but was recalled by Baltimore in June after batting a torrid .391 over the first 50 games of the season. He then appeared in 77 games for the Orioles over the rest of the year, starting 40 games as an outfielder, but he batted only .186 and was sent to the Triple-A Vancouver Mounties for 1958. A solid season there (.285 and 85 runs batted in) resulted in Durham's selection by the Cardinals in the 1958 Rule 5 Draft. He began on the Cardinals' roster, but appeared in only six games, starting one. He went hitless in five at bats and scored two runs. He was then returned to Vancouver and the Orioles' system. Apart from 1963, which he spent in the New York Yankees' system, Durham played at the top level of the Baltimore organization through 1964, then became the team's batting practice pitcher. He moved into the Orioles' front office in 1986, then became a coach for the Class A Frederick Keys of the Carolina League.〔
All told, he was a member of the Orioles' organization for over 40 years.
