Wild74 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Former Phillies catcher Darren 'Dutch' Daulton dies at 55Philly.Com ^ | 08/07/2017 | Frank Fitzpatrick Posted on 8/7/2017, 7:46:09 AM by Kid Shelleen Darren “Dutch” Daulton, the charismatic catcher and master of Macho Row, whose talent for controlling both a pitching staff and a clubhouse helped the 1993 Phillies win an improbable National League pennant, died Sunday at age 55 after a four-year battle with brain cancer. A three-time all-star, Mr. Daulton played 14 seasons for the Phillies organization, which drafted him in 1980. But he will be recalled longest and most fondly in Philadelphia for his role as the cleanup hitter and locker-room leader of the 1993 Phils. That wild and wildly popular team, with him supplying much of its power on and off the field, attracted a then-franchise record 3.1 million fans --SNIP-- In his 2001 Historical Baseball Abstract, statistical guru Bill James ranked Mr. Daulton as the 25th best catcher in baseball history.

Stoney Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 That '93 Phillies team was fun. Between Daulton, Kruk and Dykstra you had a group of characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
