Last time, I evaluated the career of Ricky Jordan to see if he was better (or worse) than most fans remember. This time, I’ll take a look at one of Jordan’s teammates from the 1993 team: Mariano Duncan.
I think most Phillies fans have positive memories of Mariano Duncan. He provided one of the defining moments from the 1993 pennant season when he delivered a go-ahead grand slam on Mothers’ Day.
Duncan is also remembered for being heavily featured on the team’s marketing materials for the 1994 season. When touting the NL Champs, you’d usually get a picture of the team’s most prominent stars: Lenny Dykstra, John Kruk, Darren Daulton; and inevitably, right beside them was Duncan.
