<p>Bobby and Alex discuss a bevy of things that happened since they last recorded three weeks ago, before launching into this year&#39;s installation of the Banned Topics. Then, they&#39;re joined by author and friend of the podcast A.M. Gittlitz to discuss his new book &quot;Metropolitans: New York Baseball, Class Struggle, and the People&#39;s Team.&quot; They discuss, among other things, the need for a book about baseball and Marxism, the Mets&#39; peculiar history and ties to countercultural political movements, and their current political status.</p><p><br></p><p>Links:</p><p><a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/metropolitans-new-york-baseball-class-struggle-and-the-people-s-team-a-m-gittlitz/9579ae52249dc3ed?ean=9781662603006&next=t&next=t&affiliate=2186&prhc=PRHEFFDF5A7F1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Order &quot;Metropolitans&quot; on Bookshop</a></p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/tippingpitches">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Tipping Pitches Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><a href="https://tippingpitches.myshopify.com/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://tippingpitches.myshopify.com/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tipping Pitches merchandise ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>Call the Tipping Pitches voicemail: 785-422-5881</p><p><br></p><p><em>Tipping Pitches features original music from Steve Sladkowski of PUP.</em></p>
