The baseball community lost one of its most memorable catchers Sunday when former Philadelphia Phillies and Miami Marlins backstop Darren Daulton died at 55 following a four-year battle with brain cancer.
Following the announcement of Daulton's death by the Phillies - the team in which he spent a combined 14 seasons of his 15-year career - the baseball world, as well as others, poured out their love for the man known as "Dutch."

R.I.P., Darren Daulton. A friend of my family when we lived in Arkansas City, Kan., and a helluva ballplayer.
