Then, they're joined by author and friend of the podcast A.M. Gittlitz to discuss his new book "Metropolitans: New York Baseball, Class Struggle, and the People's Team." They discuss, among other things, the need for a book about baseball and Marxism, the Mets' peculiar history and ties to countercultural political movements, and their current political status.
