On Saturday I had the opportunity to attend a public signing by former Phillies catcher, Darren Daulton at VSM Sports Card Outlet in Lancaster. While there I had a few minutes to ask Dutch a question I had been wanting to ask since 1989: Why did you pose right-handed in your 1989 Donruss card (pictured left)?

He responded immediately by laughing - saying he had never been asked about it, but remembered the exact moment it happened. According to Daulton, a photographer came up to him right before the game and asked him to pose for a quick picture. Without thinking he lifted the bat he was holding and stood in a right-handed batter stance. Snap! The picture was taken and the photographer was on his way.

Dutch said as soon as the guy started to walk away, he realized what had happened and told him, "I don't bat right-handed!" The photographer responded by assuring him the slip was not a big deal. Lo and behold, the next year that photo ended up in the Donruss set. He has a good attitude about it - calling it a one of a kind: "My only time batting right-handed"...
