This morning we meet Kareem Rosser - the captain of the first all-Black squad to win the Interscholastic Polo Championship, and the face of Ralph Lauren 2020 Holiday ad campaign. 

In his new book, “Crossing the Line,” Kareem tells his story about growing up in "The Bottom" in West Philly and eventually infiltrating the most privileged of sports.

Once again, his new book is – “Crossing the Line: A Fearless Team of Brothers and the Sport That Changed Their Lives Forever.” 

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
