Phillies Alum Darren Daulton Making a Difference

In 1993, the Phillies astounded the baseball world with their magical worst-to-first season. That squad, nicknamed ‘Macho Row’, had a clear leader in team captain Darren Daulton.

Known affectionately as ‘Dutch’, the left-handed hitting catcher would play in parts of 14 seasons with the Phillies. He made his debut during the Phils’ 1983 NL Championship season, and ended his career winning a World Series with the Florida Marlins in 1997. In the 2001 edition of his popular Baseball Abstract, respected baseball statistical guru Bill James ranked Daulton as the 25th greatest catcher of all-time.
