Charlotte Knights News Release
(UPTOWN CHARLOTTE, NC) - On Thursday, June 7th, the Charlotte Knights will induct Brian Daubach into the Charlotte Baseball Round Table of Honor. Daubach, a standout with the Charlotte Knights for two seasons (1997-98), will be inducted before the 7:04 p.m. game against the Syracuse Chiefs at BB&T Ballpark. Daubach is currently the hitting coach for the Chiefs.
Originally selected by the New York Mets in the 17th round of the 1990 MLB June Amateur Draft, Daubach spent parts of eight seasons in the majors and 14 in the minors over the course of his illustrious career. He hit a total of 93 home runs at the major league level, including 20-plus home runs in four consecutive seasons with the Boston Red Sox from 1999 to 2002. He also swatted a remarkable 160 home runs and 805 RBIs in the minors.
Daubach appeared in two seasons with the Knights (1997-1998) when the team was the Triple-A affiliate of the Florida Marlins. Over that two-year span, he combined to record 85 doubles, 56 home runs, and 217 RBIs with the franchise. In 1997, he compiled a .278 batting average with 40 doubles, 21 home runs, and 93 RBIs in 136 games. One year later, Daubach returned to the Knights and hit .316 with 157 hits, 102 runs scored, 45 doubles, four triples, 35 home runs, and 124 RBIs. He led the International League in home runs and RBIs that season before making his major league debut with the Marlins on September 10, 1998.
In 2016, the Charlotte Knights revived the Charlotte Baseball Hall of Fame and renamed it the Charlotte Baseball Round Table of Honor. The team held an induction ceremony on two occasions and inducted three members into the inaugural Class of 2016. On July 13, 2016, the Knights inducted Charlie Manuel and Jim Thome at the 2016 Triple-A Baseball All-Star Game Luncheon. On September 4, 2016, Frances Crockett earned induction during an on-field ceremony at BB&T Ballpark. Last season, the Charlotte Knights inducted team owner Don Beaver on May 28th and former Charlotte O's legend Drungo LaRue Hazewood on September 3rd.
Charlotte Knights Chief Operating Officer Dan Rajkowski, the "Voice of the Charlotte Knights" Matt Swierad, and Syracuse manager Randy Knorr will be on hand to induct Daubach during a pre-game ceremony at BB&T Ballpark on June 7th. Swierad's first season with the Knights was in 1998, while Knorr was Daubach's teammate that season with the club.
