Mike Puma is one of the senior beat writers in all of baseball, covering the Mets for the New York Post for his 14th straight season in 2023. Mike joined Joe Rizzo and "The Dawg" Jeff Healy on Diamond Diehards for the third time, dishing about the Mets, his book, Edwin Diaz, the World Baseball Classic, and the Fordham days. The trio went to Fordham together, and even recalled some of the glory days of Fordham basketball during the show, in addition to covering everything about the Mets, from Bobby Valentine and Mike Piazza all the way through Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso.

And Frank Francisco!
