New York Mets broadcast announcers Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez stood on the dais of the New York chapter of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America to present the Arthur & Milton Richman “You Gotta Have Heart” Award to their partner Ron Darling for his overcoming advertisty.
To the audience at the 97th annual dinner of the Association dinner, at the Sheraton Times Square, Cohen announced Darling was cancer free.
In April, Darling took a brief hiatus from the Mets booth when he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. The 59-year-old, beloved among the fanbase, returned to work in June, showing the resiliency those around the Mets have come to expect of him.
“You don’t realize until you’re away how much this is in your blood,” Darling said in a news conference at Citi Field when he returned.
You won’t come across better news. Here’s hoping for the best for Darling as he continues forward in life.
