The Book of Joe Podcast begins with hosts Tom Verducci and World Series Champion Joe Maddon welcoming Paterson NJ Mayor Andre Sayegh to the show.   The Mayor is leading an effort to restoring Hinchliffe Stadium, one of the last remaining Negro League Stadiums in the country.  The plans for the build also include a museum around the stadium to tell the stories of the 20+ Hall of Famers who stepped on that field.  Mayor Sayegh discusses the work that is going into the project and how he learned persistence through his own pursuit of becoming Mayor. Look for opening ceremonies on April 14th and the New Jersey Jackals moving in to call Hinchliffe Stadium their home. Mayor Sayegh reveals what other sports, schools, and colleges will be able to use the venue in the future! We wrap up with a 'Reading from The Book of Joe' and learn the life lesson from page 14.
The Book of Joe Podcast is a production of iHeart Radio.
