In celebration of 350 episodes of SportsJam with Doug Doyle, I'm posting some of the best episodes of the past.

It was in February of 2014 that four-time Olympian Joetta Clark Diggs, a New Jersey Hall of Fame member, was a guest on SportsJam with Doug Doyle. The track star talked about her amazing career, her inspirational books, her foundation and her famous father. The late Joe Clark was the principal of Eastside High School in Paterson and was the subject of the 1989 film Lean on Me, starring Morgan Freeman.
