The Book of Joe Podcast with hosts Tom Verducci and Joe Maddon begins with Aaron Boone's epic interaction with umpire Laz Diaz. Joe explains the emotion that leads to a manager blowing up on the field. Umpires have a tough job, but are the players making that job even harder? Joe is 16th on the all-time list with 59 ejections in 19 years and we hear about some of the most memorable walks to the clubhouse. Joe recalls his very first ejection, how he apologized after a few, and how he once was tossed by all four umps!
