Nothing says Christmas Eve quite like baseball! We get you ready for a night of milk and cookies with three interviews from the past with some legendary baseball managers. First up, Stan Van Gundy joins us to talk to Joe Torre all the way back in 2006, before we speak to Joe Maddon and Jim Leyland. And yes, the Maddon interview did occur before Stugotz started ripping him. It also shows us just how far ahead of everyone else Maddon was in the new era of baseball. So sit back and grab a glass of hot cocoa because this is the perfect way to start your Christmas Eve. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
