Diamond Diehards: Mike Puma, Mets Beat Writer for the NY Post

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy got their Mets mojo going as Mike Puma joined the show, becoming the first guest to come back a second time in the history of the show. Mike is the long-time Mets beat writer for the New York Post. His book, "If These Walls Could Talk: New York Mets" is available right now: https://amzn.to/3f7xKtJ Mike was a classmate of Riz & Dawg at Fordham University, and the trio spent time on the air together at the great WFUV back in the day. The chemistry remained, as the guys covered Francisco Lindor and his contract status, the Carlos Carrasco injury, the spring doings of Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard, the situation around the DH (or lack of it), and the third-base battle. Puma's stories in the NY Post can be found here: https://nypost.com/author/mike-puma/ Dawg got things going with Veteran of the Day. It was SFC Leigh Hester, the first woman Soldier to receive the Silver Star for combat valor. As a team leader for her MP Company in the Kentucky Army National Guard, she deployed to Iraq in 2005. When her convoy was attacked, she led the counterattack that saved the convoy, killing numerous enemy combatants and saving everyone in her unit.
