Met-lediction: Is There A Curse Of Flushing?

Listen to my presentation from the 2018 Baseball In Literature And Culture conference!

…Do I really think there’s a Mets curse? No. Certainly the Metsies’ strong start wouldn’t make the case for me if I did. Still, any excuse to hang out with other baseball nerds and shade the Bonilla contract at the same time, right?

Thanks again to Ottawa University for having me, and okaying my posting this.
