Ronald Maurice Darling
Batted: Right

Height: 6'3"
Weight: 195 lbs.
Born: August 19, 1960 in Honolulu, HI

Fine pitcher and member of several great
Mets staffs, including the '86 World Champions. He later joined the broadcast
booth for the inaugural season of the Mets' own SNY network, possibly attaining
greater fame for his broadcasting skills than he had earned from his pitching!
He's pictured here on a 1984 Donruss card. Several more cards and stickers are
pictured below.

This is a list of the cards of this player
that I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the ownership of said
collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The cards that are listed
in light gray print and struck through are cards that were sold for charity
prior to my divestiture. The cards listed in white text are the ones
that still remained
until that final deal. Items listed in green I kept out of the deal,
just so I'd have something to display in my office and den. At the
bottom and listed in orange text are cards that I picked up after the dealing
was done, in order to maintain a certain continuity at
this site; that is, so I'd have a card to show you at the top of the page, and
maybe in the autographs and game-used areas. If an orange card is
struck through, it has also departed the collection. I’m still
accepting donations, should you feel so moved. Contact me by
following this link: NYMHall.
