| Darling (L); Remy (R) |
Kirk Minihane—of
WEEI's Dennis & Callahan Morning Show—is reporting (from
two sources) that
NESN is 'interested' in pairing Ron Darling (as color man) with new play-by-play man Dave O'Brien. Presumably, this would mean the departure of fan icon
Jerry Remy from the NESN broadcast booth—likely to raise even
more ire than the firing of
Don Orsillo. Darling is a top-notch baseball analyst, whose current gigs include: TBS, Mets broadcasts on SNY and WPIX, and a co-hosting role on MLB Network. Darling has local roots, having grown up in Millbury, Massachusetts, and attended St. John's High School in Shrewsbury. However, he was
also part of the infamous 1986 World Series-winning Mets team. Stay tuned for further developments on this front.
