One of my favorite catchers from that era. I was very sorry to hear this morning that he had passed. The most underrated thing a catcher does (underrated to the average fan, totally appreciated by pitchers, coaches and fellow catchers) is how they call a game and handle their pitchers. Watching Joaquin "God is my Amigo" Andujar and Porter work the World Series that year was a clinic. Godspeed, Darrell.
