Ron Darling will be making a public appearance on Wednesday at what looks like a cool event:
Find out what it’s like to stand alone on a major-league pitching mound and be the center of attention for thousands of fans. Hear Emmy-winning SNY sports analyst Ron Darling – two-time All-American at Yale, starting pitcher for the New York Mets in 1983 to1991, key member of the ’86 World Championship team and author of “The Complete Game: Reflections on Baseball, Pitching, and Life on the Mound” — talk with New York Times sports writer Ken Belson about America’s pastime, this year’s spring training results and what to expect at the start of the 2010 season.
