MLB Legend’s Inside Guide to Scottsdale Spring Training

If you are a fan of the Chicago Cubs, then you are probably familiar with this legend. Joe Maddon, former MLB Manager and coach, ended the Cubs' 108-year World Series Championship drought in his second year with a 4–3 series win over the Cleveland Guardians in 2016.  

Joe has since gone on to manage other MLB teams, publish a fascinating memoir, travel extensively, and catch up with old buddies, like musician Eddie Vedder, in Scottsdale during Spring Training. 

We were lucky to chat with him between engagements about Spring Training in Scottsdale, including insider knowledge on the best places to eat, imbibe, and connect with the mystical desert landscape. 

Our conversation went to extra innings because Joe stepped up to the plate and came to play. Come on. We had to do it! :)
