A.M. Gittlitz with METROPOLITANS (w/Kevin Baker, The New York Game)

"Gittlitz really means it. Come the revolution, the team that represents us will be wearing, he reassures the reader, the Mets colors: 'the hard-hat orange of the international working class, and our blue Earth.' [...] He makes a much better case than one might have thought possible."—Adam Gopnik, The New Yorker

"Gittlitz delivers a wide-ranging history of New York baseball’s 'working-class-coded' underdogs, whose outsize role in the civil rights, antiwar and labor movements might dwarf its checkered performance on the field."—The New York Times, 26 Nonfiction Books We’re Excited About This Spring

"No one knows New York City better than Kevin Baker, so it's only natural that he would breathe such spectacular life into the stories of the National Pastime in the Capital of Baseball. A remarkable, complicated doubleheader of a book."— Ken Burns, filmmaker
