<p>Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon will appear on ESPN&#8217;s &#8220;SC Featured&#8221; segment on Sunday.</p><p>The Hazleton native is rebuilding a franchise &#8212; trying to bring Chicago its first World Series title since 1908 &#8211; and rejuvenating his beloved hometown.</p><p>&#8220;A lot of people pay lip service to supporting their community, and then they get on a plane and kind of fly away, either literally or metaphorically. But Joe never flew away from this community.&#8221; Bob Curry, president of Hazleton Integration Project said during an interview with ESPN.</p><p>The segment will debut during the 10 a.m. ET edition of SportsCenter and will re-air in other editions of the program throughout the day.</p><p>&#8220;If you&#8217;re not a little bit crazy, you&#8217;re never gonna take the necessary risks to be great. Whether it&#8217;s some guy in the clubhouse doing something nuts, or whether it&#8217;s bringing a python in there, penguins in there, bringing a salsa band or a DJ, something that loosens the moment up,&#8221; Maddon said during the ESPN feature.</p><style>
