Ex-Met and current broadcaster Ron Darling happy to see gay marriage passed in New York

"I immediately called my wife as soon as I heard," said Darling, who long ago made the city his adopted home and now works as a broadcaster for the team. "I'm joyous. Excited. I can't wait to hear if my friends are going to take the plunge, and I'm anticipating going to many marriages."

For Darling, the equation is simple: Why not recognize and celebrate any form of love between two people?

"I'm excited that all those who have the chance to love will now be able to do it publicly," he said Saturday.
