The Book of Joe Podcast begins with hosts Tom Verducci and World Series Champion Joe Maddon welcoming MLB Outfielder Jason Heyward to the show.  Not only was Jason one of the best 'glue guys' in the clubhouse and locker room, but we find out that Jason's accomplishments put him in rare company.  Jason talks about learning how to play the game the right way at 7 years old and growing up as a Yankees and Braves fan in the 90's, he saw a lot of winning. Jason reveals some of his mentors over the years and how he's now giving back to the game and his community.  We go back to 2016 and dive into Game 7 of the World Series in Cleveland.  Jason led a team meeting before the win and tells us what he told his teammates. We discuss what's next for Jason, on and off the field.  Not only is he building the Jason Heyward Baseball Academy, but what Jason hopes to happen in 2023. 

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