Former N.Y. Met Ron Darling To Appear At Yogi Berra Museum

It’s a Little League baseball player’s dream… taking the mound for game seven of the World Series.

During former MLB pitcher Ron Darling’s upcoming appearance at the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center, baseball fans – especially those who lived and celebrated alongside the 1986 New York Mets during their iconic championship season – can learn more about what it’s like to play in one of the highest-profile sporting events in the world.

Darling will appear at the museum to discuss and sign copies of his new book “Game 7, 1986: Failure and Triumph in the Biggest Game of My Life,” from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 21.

The release of Darling’s book coincides with the 30th anniversary of the Mets’ championship season.

After the Q&A, Darling will sign copies of “Game 7, 1986,”which are available for purchase at the Museum.

To RSVP for this event, call (973) 655-2378.

Visitors will also get an opportunity to see the museum’s new exhibit, “Champions in Bronze: The Sculptures of Marc Mellon.”
