Time for a shameless plug. Book I co-authored on Maddon covers his time w the Angels organization. Passed over for ML coaching jobs and manager. Now going back there. Its a HUGE deal for him. Try Not To Suck available at Amazon and book stores!
Good for Joe, good for the Angels. Hope to see them meet the Cubs in the 2020 World Series. That'd be fun. https://t.co/ged30LBUTo
