This week is another baseball-centric podcast featuring Tom Roberge’s individual book recommendations for five Mets players. He came up with this idea as a tribute to the recently “retired” Phil Jackson (who won’t be in his Montana cabin), who is famous for giving books to all of his players. Here’s of the Zen Master’s recommendations that leaked out earlier this year and includes 2666 by Roberto Bolano . . .

And with BookExpo America taking place next week, we talked a bit about the books (and parties) we’re most looking forward to. (Spoiler: Tom’s into Guns ‘n Roses and wants to crash the Duff McKagen party.)

And this week’s intro/outro music is Yes, Nate went there.
