Diamond Diehards: Riz & Dawg on Baseball's Return, Ripken Complex

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz and Jeff "Dawg" Healy are back, and so is baseball. The lively banter was about the impending return of baseball, slated for July 23, when the Yankees visit the defending World Series champion Nationals. A full breakdown of the scenarios around rosters, potential COVID infections, in-game strategy, season planning, and general baseball chatter exploded in the first 45 minutes. Then the guys tapped the breaks and Dawg talked about his experience visiting the Ripken Complex in Maryland while his son was playing games there, plus there was talk on what it means to kids and parents to be returning to the fields to play the game we love. No politics, just love for the game, and a spin on which teams might be sleepers coming into the 60-game MLB sprint. This episode is dedicated to Riz's beloved father-in-law, Antonio Ignoffo, who passed away June 29.
