About this episode
Hall of Famer Joe Torre, class of 2014, sits down with Jon Paul Morosi to discuss his long and winding road to Cooperstown. In part one of their conversation, Torre talks about getting hired by George Steinbrenner after being fired from his three previous managerial jobs, the lessons he learned playing with Hank Aaron and the mistake he made when he caught for Bob Gibson in the 1965 All-Star Game that left him feeling "naked" standing on the pitching mound.
