The Book of Joe Podcast begins with the Phillies and Astros in the World Series. Hosts Tom Verducci and World Series Champion Joe Maddon discuss the mentality of both teams and how different they are.  Joe likes the Philly 'vibe' right now and Tom thinks they're a club that's playing with very little pressure after making the postseason.  Bryce Harper's home run was a historic moment for him and Tom walks us through how it happened. Joe explains why manager needs to 'play' through the game before it even happens to know what he's doing in every situation. Looking back at the Yankees season, it's easy to say what needs to be different but you can't just change a team's identity in one series. Find out what Joe says isn't just 'nearly impossible' but just impossible for a team to do. Now we're ready for the games, Joe recalls managing Kyle Schwarber and reveals the impact the outfielder can have on a team and even a teammate like Bryce Harper. Bruce Bochy is back in the game and Tom wonders what it would take for Joe to return to the dugout. We wrap up with Bruce Springsteen and Tom's favorite selection from The Boss.

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