Daulton says he's willing to share the wealth
Feel free to add humanitarian to the list of names associated with former Phillies catcher Darren Daulton.
Yesterday, Daulton, 47, revealed that a recent announcement regarding plans to sell roughly 100 pieces of memorabilia in an online auction next month stem from the fact that the time is right to "unload some stuff that has been in storage," namely his 1997 Florida Marlins World Series ring.
Daulton said the proceeds would benefit the various charitable organizations he sponsors.
"This is stuff that has been in storage and over the years we have provided for a lot of families and a lot of mouths to feed, so it did dawn on us a few weeks ago that if we unloaded some of this stuff we could help out," Daulton said, following an appearance at the Shoppes at Liberty Place. "If we can get someone to pay that kind of money it would really help out, as everything is pretty much allocated for. None of it is going to me . . . there are a lot of people that need my help."
The "kind of money" Daulton referred to was the $56,000 sold price tag for Lenny Dysktra's 1986 Mets World Series ring. Daulton stressed his situation is nothing like the bankrupt Dykstra, and even defended his pal.
"What's [Lenny's] situation? Tell me," Daulton asked. "This idea was subsequent to reading an article about Lenny and when it came out that someone paid $56,000 for a ring it made me want to think about going and finding all of my rings.
"[The World Series ring] hasn't been sold yet, but if someone pays a lot for the ring, I'll show up and personally deliver it and we'll have one hell of a party."
Daulton is scheduled to make select appearances in conjunction with the Phillies' postseason run. He will attend a rally today on Citizens Bank Way, and will be among several Phillies alums at the ballpark today and tomorrow.
In addition, Daulton is scheduled to throw out the first pitch should the Phillies make it to the National League Championship Series. It's all part of a "comeback."
"I think there was a perception of me a couple years ago when I wrote my book ["If They Only Knew"]," Daulton said, referring to the chronicling of his metaphysical beliefs and experiences. "I think for the most part it scared a lot of people, but a lot has happened since then, and there's probably some things [now] that I can offer. I firmly believe that a lot of people will be experiencing the things that I experienced. This just gives me the opportunity to share with people.
"It's always fun to come back [to Philadelphia]. I have always had a good rapport with the fans. I consider this my second home."
