7. Florida!!!

This week on Hits Different, David and Kaitlyn are, unavoidably: forlorn, wistful, unmoored, hungover, etc.! We have that in common with the Mets and with the heroine of Nancy Lemann's 1992 sexy baseball novel Sportsman's Paradise, the first book in the Hits Different sexy baseball novel book club. (I recorded myself reading like three pages of it in the middle of this episode for some reason.) You can guess what else there is to say this week after the Mets dropped three games to the not-very-good Tampa Bay Rays. Tropicana Field should be razed. The only cool and funny thing that happened there was Brett Baty's home run ball getting lost in the stupid spaceship ceiling. Florida!!!Did we talk enough about how much we love Brett? I kind of feel like we didn't. We also forgot to talk about the guy who was unjustly ejected from Citi Field's Dollar Dog Night because he loved hot dogs TOO much and people wouldn't stop throwing their extra hot dogs at him. Sorry to that guy!Thank you as always to James Rainis for our theme song and Paul Windle for our cover art. This week we also say thank you to Taylor Swift, for giving us an appropriate exclamation to use in dark days such as these. FLORIDA!!!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
