In his brief 6 year Post 701 career Dan sports a lifetime average of .438 . . . his next homerun will be number 12 and that will tie him with his Dad for number one on the all-time Post list . . . Danny is but 4 ribbys short of becoming the 4th Post player to reach the century mark . . .


He has taken over the coveted spot as the third hitter in the Post lineup and has picked up where his Dad left off. Danny Auricchio has combined power with speed and an uncanny knack for knocking in the big run in a clutch situation. In his 6 year career, in which his rookie year he totaled only 8 at bats, Danny has totaled 96 ribbys, or one for every 2.5 at bats. This rates ahead of the all-time Post leader in rbis, Matt Beck (one for every 3.35 at bats) and just ahead of his Dad, Rich who had a 2.72 ratio. Danny also anchors down third base with one of the best arms in the league.

Milestone Danny


Dan Auricchio has never hit below .407 in his 6 full years as a Post 701er. In his 6 years as a Post starter he has never scored less than 17 runs with a career total of 110 which ranks 4th on the all time list. He has never had less than 12 ribbys in a year and his 108 rbis place him 4th on the Post career list. His homerun in the 1st inning vs the Old Timers was his 13th while wearing the Post colors and put him in the number one spot all time. His homer per at bat ratio is 21.3 as compared with his Dad's 31.3 and Matt Beck's 51.8. Danny's milestone is well deserved and well respected.


Back in 2004 the Post was still in the yearly playoff hunt and went all the way to the Championship game before being beaten out by Yale St. Funding 9-7. Bobby Nichols led the team in hitting with a .462 average and Rich Auricchio enjoyed one of his finest seasons hitting .457 and leading the team in runs (16), hits (21), rbis (16) and doubles (3). Rich's son Danny made his Post 701 debut that year getting 2 hits in 8 at bats and over the next 6 years has solidified his mark as one of the premier players in the AA League. In the 21-5 romp over RR, Danny went 4 for 5 with 2 runs scored, which gave him 101 for his career and his rbi single in the sixth was his 100th in his 7 years in the Post uniform. He is only the 5th 701ers to score 100+ runs and the 4th to reach the 100 rbi mark. His next hit will tie him with Bill McCord for 8th place on the all-time hit parade, not bad company for the young vet. His next homerun will tie him with his Dad for first with 12 as he continues his assault on the Post 701 offensive records.
