Let it Joe! Small town a winner wonderland
Cubs manager Joe Maddon discusses how the Hazleton Integration Project and the Hazleton One Community Center benefit his hometownHAZLETON, Pa. -- To his old friends here, he's just Joey. He easily slips back into saying "youse" and referring to pizza as "pitz." For everyone else, Saturday was Joe Maddon Day.
The Cubs manager was honored by his hometown for his years of service to the community. And, yeah, the fact that the Cubbies won the World Series for the first time in 108 years this fall had a little something to do with it, too.
