Feb. 22 -- GOING DUTCH

So, remember how I said I spotted Darren Daulton (left) in a restaurant last night on Clearwater Beach (and resisted the urge to make a joke about his beliefs in the Fifth Dimension or the impending end of the world)? Well, it was announced today that "Dutch" is among 15 nominees to join the Phillies' Wall of Fame in 2007. The rest of the ballot includes pitchers Larry Christenson, Jim Konstanty, Ron Reed, Dick Ruthven and Rick Wise, infielders John Kruk, Fred Luderus, Juan Samuel and Pinky Whitney, outfielders Lenny Dykstra and Von Hayes, manager Gene Mauch and coaches Mike Ryan and John Vukovich. You can vote for your favorites at www.phillies.com. A Wall of Fame election committee will vote on the 2007 inductee from a pool of the top five vote-getters in the fan balloting. The ceremony will take place Aug. 10 before a game against the Braves.

That's all for today. See you tomorrow.
