The Book of Joe Podcast begins with Hosts Tom Verducci and World Series Champion Joe Maddon welcoming legendary musician Max Weinberg to the show.  We've been talking about 'Glue Guys' and how important they are in keeping a team together.  Max explores the importance of having chemistry in a band or team and the hurdles it can bring.  Max was inducted into the NJ Hall of Fame and discusses some of the special moments of his ceremony.  As in sports, being on stage is all about being nimble and adjusting to what's in front of you.  No matter the obstacle, Max tells us what it takes to keep the music going.  Max compares holding his drumsticks to an MLB player holding his bat and how he had to learn new grips to play more relaxed. Max takes us through his journey of trying out for Little League, auditioning for Bruce Springsteen, and being named as the leader of The Tonight Show Band.  Max reveals that Bruce is a big baseball fan and gives us a scouting report on The Boss playing shortstop!

The Book of Joe Podcast is a production of iHeart Radio.
