To summarize, it seems as though Danny made his MLB debut in the early 80s with the Padres; later playing briefly for the Astros before disappearing from professional baseball for almost ten years. Apparently in the late 80s/early 90s, Mr. Boone had added a knuckleball to his repertoire while pitching for the Bradenton Explorers of the Senior Professional Baseball Association; an organization that I've never heard of until today. The O's signed him, sensing his vast potential. He made it into just 4 games in 1990, including his only ML start, and then faded away again. This has to be one of the most interesting career arcs that I have ever heard of!
