In Conversation Series: Meet A.M. Gittlitz author of Metropolitans

This Saturday, July 25th at 2:30pm come out to the Jackson Heights Library @qplnyc located at 35-51 81st Street, in their basement auditorium, and join us for a talk with author @AMGittlitz as he speaks about his @NYTimes best-selling book about our New York @Mets.

“A.M. Gittlitz’s book Metropolitans: New York Baseball, Class Struggle, and the People’s Team, is a thrilling study of New York City that traces the electric and calamitous history of the New York Mets. Gittlitz will be in conversation with Adolfo Steve Vazquez, founder @Queenscapes.

Gittlitz gives us a behind the scenes look at the American sports culture of the late 20th century, not just of the team but the political environment as well. Readers find out about the origins of the Mets, aka The New York Metropolitans Baseball Club Inc, their burgeoning rivalry with the Yankees and the eccentric cast of franchise owners, team players, and the indomitable spirit of a Mets fan!

Attendees will have an opportunity to win a special Mets themed prize AND the first 15 kids who check in with @queenscapes get a special @BarnesandNoble gift bag w/ some cool reading goodies!
