This story was originally published on Oct. 14, 1993. It was reposted after Darren “Dutch” Daulton died in August 2017, of brain cancer.
When Darren Daulton put on a Phillies uniform for the first time, he was doing it in a locker room populated by men named Rose and Schmidt and Carlton and Perez – men who barely knew he was around.
“I can’t even remember that time,” says Daulton now. “Too long ago.”
Ten years have passed since then – 10 years that seemed like a hundred years, 10 years that didn’t come close to ending like this one.
