The New York Mets are getting ready for their home opener at Citi Field on Thursday afternoon. Unfortunately, the event is overshadowed by the recent actions of former player and current team broadcaster, Ron Darling.
His book, 108 Stitches, has stirred up plenty of controversy among his former teammates. Lenny Dykstra has even threatened legal action against Darling.
Darling tweeted out a statement on Thursday morning which stated the focus of the day should be on the Mets home opener. He went on to say that he stands by all recollections written.
