Book of Joe: Phil Cuzzi, MLB Umpire

Fox Sports Radio

The Book of Joe Podcast begins with hosts Tom Verducci and Joe Maddon discussing Joe's performance in the Valspar Pro-Am event! We're joined by MLB Umpire Phil Cuzzi, who has been working Spring Training and implementing the new rules for this season. Tom walks through Phil's journey to becoming an MLB ump. We find out what circumstance saw Phil leave the game and the crazy coincidence that brought him back. Plus, Phil reveals one player who didn't talk to him for a year after a called 3rd strike. We wrap up with 'A Reading from The Book of Joe' where Phil picks page 29 for his upcoming birthday!

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