Diamond Diehards: Tuesday Night Live - The Virtual Winter Meetings
Dec 09, 2020
Episode description
Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy check out what is going on with MLB's Virtual Winter Meetings, including moves that have been made and ones that might be upcoming and how that could affect the market. As usual, they are awaiting for the big first move from the Mets, but they also examined the Angels' moves, their status since signing Albert Pujols, and what the COVID vaccine would mean to the economics of baseball in 2021 and thereafter.
Dawg presented Veteran of the Day, the late Chuck Yeager, who died Dec. 7 at age 97. Brigadier General Yeager was the epitome of American dominance in the air, most famously remembered in the book and movie The Right Stuff. Then a captain in the Air Force, Yeager was the first person to break the sound barrier Oct. 14, 1947. He shot down five planes in a single day in World War II, and 13 overall. He flew over 150 different aircraft as a test pilot and logged over 10,000 flight hours. Author Tom Wolfe put it best: ”He was the most righteous of all the possessors of the right stuff.”
