Diamond Diehards: Veterans Day Special, Army Dawg's Thoughts, Mets Take Center Stage

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz and Jeff "Dawg" Healy did the show on Facebook Live (https://www.facebook.com/groups/DiamondDiehards). On Veterans Day, our own Army Dawg gave his thoughts about what the day means to him and others who have served their country. Dawg spoke at length about it in one of the can't miss moments in Diamond Diehards history. To kick it off, the guys dove right into the Mets' situation, with ownership moving to Steve Cohen, who promised to make the franchise relevant and looked for a World Series within the first 3-to-5 years. Riz & Dawg broke down different philosophies the Mets could weight in terms of roster construction for today and down the line. There was a review of the possible free agent targets, with most of the focus on all the pros and cons of signing NL Cy Young Award winner Trevor Bauer, plus All-Star catch J.T. Realmuto and centerfield standout George Springer. The guys had different outlooks for who they'd go after and what they'd offer. Most of the shows lately have been live, and Diamond Diehards is looking to move forward to also get on YouTube, Twitch and other outlets, so keep an eye out for that and give us feedback. We want to know what you prefer! The Veteran of the Day, delivered by Dawg, was CW4 Michael Grenier, Accounting Supervisor US Property and Finance Office Connecticut Army National Guard. Grenier enlisted in 1979. He was mobilized and deployed for Operation Desert Storm (1990-1991) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (2009-2010). Fittingly for this episode, he is a big Mets fan, going back to the days of George “The Stork” Theodore.
