The Book of Joe Podcast begins with hosts Tom Verducci and World Series Champion Joe Maddon welcoming MLB Executive Billy Bean to the show.  Billy talks about playing baseball while feeling like he needed to hide being gay because he wanted people to see him only as a player.  Billy has now turned his attention to having these important conversations with the league and teams about making the game more inclusive.  Tom asks how close the game is to having an active player be comfortable enough to be openly gay while in the majors. We have 'A Reading from the Book of Joe' where Billy picks page 44 for today's lesson.  Wrapping up, Joe and Tom give their best Christmas gifts they remember from their childhoods.

Book of Joe: MLB Exec Billy Bean on MLB's Inclusivity Goals

Borrowing the podcast title from their forthcoming book, three-time Manager of the Year Joe Maddon and three-time Sportswriter of the Year Tom Verducci provide exclusive insight, commentary and discussion on the MLB postseason, from the stars to the strategy.
As manager of the 2016 Cubs team that broke a 108-year championship drought, Maddon knows what it takes to navigate October pressure. Part Phil Jackson, part Yogi Berra, Maddon brings unique and entertaining takes on not just on dugout strategy but also life lessons and leadership - not to mention classic cars and rock and roll.
A five-time Emmy winner with Fox and MLB Network, Verducci has behind-the-scenes access to the players and managers throughout the postseason.
“The Book of Joe” is your home to learn - and laugh - about the real stories behind how postseason games are won and lost.
