The Book of Joe Podcast begins with hosts Tom Verducci and Joe Maddon discussing Joe playing in the Valpar Pro-Am in Tampa and why he's so nervous, eager, and excited.  Shawn Purdy, father of 49ers QB Brock Purdy, joins us to discuss the amazing run or San Fran this season. Shawn had an 8 year career in baseball's minor leagues and explains how that perseverance was passed along to his son. Shawn walks us through the season of watching Brock from the stands and how he felt seeing his son succeed.  Once in the Super Bowl, Shawn describes the moment he saw his son returning to play in the game despite being hurt.  We wrap up with 'A Reading from the Book of Joe' with Shawn picking page 13 for Brock's jersey number.
