Daily News | Five years after his death, Darren Daulton is inspiring cancer patients the way he did the 1993 Phillies
Tommy Greene made 30 starts for the 1993 Phillies, taking the ball almost every fifth day as a workhorse pitcher for the National League champions.
Podres returned to the dugout, leaving Greene alone on the mound with Darren Daulton. The pitcher looked at his catcher, both of them wondering what game the coach was watching. It’s hard to believe, Greene said, that Saturday marks five years since his death. And yet Daulton is still inspiring others the way he did with his teammates.
“It can happen to anyone,” said Ellen Frank. “Here’s a man who was very, very fit and active and totally cognitively brilliant. He became severely disabled.” “Many things have occurred from keeping the cancer from recurring and we wouldn’t have been able to get the services that were needed if the Daulton Foundation wasn’t able to be so supportive in a very strategic, tactical way.”
“[John] Kruk was one of those guys,” said Greene, who along with many of his 1993 teammates is one of the foundation’s ambassadors. “Mariano Duncan, a guy you don’t hear a lot about, was one of those guys. He played the game the right way and wanted you to play the way he did and care about it the way he did. Danny Jackson, another one of those guys. It was easy to fall in line and do the right thing when you have guys who have been there and done that.
“Darren had a heart of gold,” Datto said. “He never said ‘No’ to a photograph or autograph. He would stop and chat with someone about their life and what was going on. It was never, ever about Darren. It was always about the other person.”Dana DiCaprio managed to find her way home in October 2008 from a retreat in Maryland despite passing out earlier that morning and losing her sense of direction on the drive home.
