Saw this tweet from Mets announcer and Millbury's own Ron Darling. Earlier he tweeted congratulations to Carlos Beltran for hitting his 400th home run, which prompted this exchange between Darling and a fan.
Bet the fan wasn't expecting Darling to name a basketball player!

Impressive shout-out to Mike! Wonder where he started following Mike's career?

Impressive shout-out to Mike! Wonder where he started following Mike's career? Ron grew up about a 10 minute drive from the HC and was in high school during Mike's four years at HC. I can think of at least one time I've bumped into him at Hart during the Willard era

His mom still lives in Worcester area. This past winter he was rumored to be up for a broadcasting gig with the Red Sox. His response was that he could never do that, because his mom would be furious if he bumped Jerry Remy off the air.

I scrolled through Darling's tweets and found that he retweeted a shout out to HC hoops on March 16th.

Michael's son Marcel played HS ball with my son at St dom's, Long Island in the late 90's. talked with .mike a few times. His son was a high character person like his mom and dad.
