Darren Daulton was easily one of the more popular players for the Philadelphia Phillies in the early 1990s, and he certainly deserved to be. Daulton, the Phillies Catcher for years would work his way to becoming one of the top Catchers of the NL and he would be named an All-Star in 1992, 1993, and 1995. Daulton would show rare power for a Catcher, as he had a pair of 20 Home Run/100 RB! Seasons (1992 & 1993), while he also finishing 6th and 7th in MVP voting in that time frame. It is worth mentioning that Daulton led all batters in RBIs in the 1992 season.
It is certainly argued that the Philadelphia Phillies would not have made the 1993 World Series without Darren Daulton playing at Catcher.
While Daulton was only with the Florida Marlins for a brief time in his final season in the Majors he would retire as a World Series Champion in 1997. The Phillies welcomed Daulton back as an inductee to the Philadelphia Baseball Wall of Fame in 2010.
