Diamond Diehards: Silver Bullet Missy Coombes Joins Us to Honor International Women's Day and Baseball

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy welcomed former professional baseball player Missy Coombes in honor of International Women's Day and, of course, baseball! Missy (https://twitter.com/MissyCoombes) pitched for the Colorado Silver Bullets, an all-female professional baseball team, from 1994-96. A crafty lefty, Coombes knows the game inside and out. She recounted her amazing story, starting with a zinger for Riz and covering her time with the Silver Bullets, her All-America career on the softball diamond for Cal State Fullerton, her relationship with the Niekro brothers, and general philosophies of pitching and playing from decades of knowledge. She even talked about her unique new-age mentoring of young female baseball player Lillian Martineau (https://twitter.com/Lilli_Martineau) across social media. Dawg got things going with Veteran of the Day. It was General Ann Dunwoody, the first 4-star female general in US Army history. GEN Dunwoody rose through the officer ranks commanding at level. Her last assignment was head of US Army Materiel Command. GEN Dunwoody retired in 2012 after a 38-year career.
