Darren Daulton, a 170-pound catcher out of Arkansas City (KN) High School, was Phillies 25th round selection in 1980 draft. The 628th overall selection became a three-time All-Star, playing 14 seasons with the Phils. He was the only catcher in their history with two 100-RBI seasons (109, 1992 and 105, 1993). He holds the Phillies single record for a catcher with 117 walks. His leadership and competitiveness qualities are legendary. So was his toughness.
