David Roth returns! Steve and David struggle manfully to avoid talking about the Mets, but their allure as a metaphor for the culture as a whole proves too strong to resist. There are also visits to Giants Stadium and the bleachers at old Yankee Stadium, where profane songs are sung to the likes of Rob Deer. Finally, David explains everything. Seriously, everything. Steve begins with two old-time ballplayers who met an early demise, one among the best-loved players in history, the other largely forgotten, and both object lessons in fate.
