The Magical Game by Addy Baird

I became a half-hearted baseball fan at the tail end of the Mets' 2024 season and then a full-throated, passionate Mets fan in 2025. I haven't been here for a long time (and the way they're usually playing, rarely for a good time) but Addy Baird really captures how weird and wonderful and and meditative and magical baseball can be.
