Darren Daulton

Darren Daulton is one of the most beloved former players in recent Philadelphia sports history and a fantastic addition to 97.5 The Fanatic's team. Dutch had a roller-coaster career with the Phillies - from back-up catcher, to starter, to often-injured and then often-maligned by fans through some struggling years, to leading the National League in RBIs in 1992 and eventually to becoming the unquestioned leader of one of Philly's all-time favorite teams, the 1993 Phils. Dutch was the linchpin through it all: a 13 season run with the Phillies that ended in 1997 when the club gave Dutch the chance to go after a World Series, which he was able to win as a very important contributor to the Florida Marlins 1997 championship squad.

Even though his playing career with the Phillies is over Darren remains forever loyal to the Phils in his heart. Simply put Darren Daulton is a Phillie. And he has now moved back into town to dive back into the game as a baseball talk show host with the Fanatic. Talk'in Baseball With Dutch is all about leaning on Darren's experience as he shares old stories and analyzes the new era Phils during these glory years of Phillies Baseball. And it's Dutch talking to you. Your chance to call-in and discuss it all with one of Philly's favorites. Each weeknight from 6:00 to 7:00 Talk'in Baseball With Dutch brings you the best show to get you set for the Phillies action that night.

Jon Marks

Jon Marks is making a run at the legacy that James Brown established as the hardest working man in show business! Jon is best known as the Producer and on-air sidekick of Mike Missanelli every weekday from 2:00 – 6:00 PM. Marksey’s a perfect compliment to Missanelli – always ready to needle Mikey Miss and provide a young guy’s perspective on what’s going on. But Marks’ role with the station goes well beyond just his work with Missanelli’s program. He also co-hosts Talk’in Baseball With Dutch every weeknight from 6:00 to 7:00 PM during baseball season as he and Darren Daulton talk Phillies baseball. Jon also hosts The Fanatic Hour and Saturday mornings with Sean Brace starting at 7:00 AM.

Marks’ path to 97.5 The Fanatic was a cross-country whirlwind during his 20s. He even lived for two years in Hawaii! But when all was said and done Marks knew he wanted to settle in the Philadelphia area and pursue a career in radio. It was a tough climb for Jon as it often is for people trying to break into radio, but his unbelievable work ethic and talent greatly accelerated his growth and made it a no-brainer for the radio station to keep giving Jon more and more responsibility. All of that has led to today with Jon as one of the most recognizable voices on the station.
