Darling scores big at St. Francis lecture series
In 2015, New York Mets owner Fred Wilpon and former NYPD Commissioner Robert McGuire were asked to start a scholarship fund for financially disadvantaged students entering St. Francis College which eventually became known as the McGuire Scholarships.
Now, three years later, Career Development Vice President Thomas Flood was hosting guest speaker Ron Darling to give career advice to a group of McGuire Scholarship recipients at this spring’s National Grid lecture series.
Introduced by National Grid Business President Ken Daly from the class of SFC ’88, former New York Met pitcher Darling recounted some of the highlights of his career journey that led him to the Mets SNY broadcast booth in 2006 as a baseball TV analyst.
