Diamond Diehards: Baseball in the Steel City with Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & "The Dawg" Jeff Healy brought in Steel City stample Rob Biertempfel, who covers the Pirates for The Athletic, to the show to talk about all things Pittsburgh. Rob went in depth about the recent history of the Pirates, the promise that Ke'Bryan Hayes has brought to the franchise, and reviewed the thought pattern behind his recent post of the 20 Greatest Moments in PNC Bank Park history for the 20th anniversary of one of MLB's most beautiful stadiums. Could the Pirates become Padres East with a little love and an injection of funds? Riz, Dawg & Rob broke down the possibilities. And don't miss Rob's inadvertent domination of our Diehard Dads segment! Dawg got things going with Veteran of the Day. It was Rob's dad, Army medic Bob Biertempfel, who served during peacetime in Europe. Please check out our sponsor, FMS Graphics (https://www.fmsgraphics.com), for all print and promotional needs.
