Greg Prince discovered the Mets when he was 6, during the magical summer of 1969. He is a Long Island-based writer, editor and communications consultant. Contact him here. Jason Fry is a Brooklyn writer whose first memories include his mom leaping up and down cheering for Rusty Staub. Check out his other writing here. Got something to say?

Best Double Play Combination Ever
Bernie and Casey posed here in tribute to their favorite 1997 Mets, Edgardo Alfonzo at third and Rey Ordoñez at short, replicating the Great Wall of Flushing that made the left side of our infield so impenetrable that year. Likewise, very little got by these cat-like, uh…cats. In the background you’ll see the pillow cases our kitties licensed when America was gripped by Bernie and Casey Fever in the 1990s. They had a whole line of merchandise.Well, they should have.

Just needed to tell you that we lost our oldest girl (17 1/2) last week….and heard that she had lunch with Bernie….
So sorry to hear that, Metlady. That's a good run, though, 17-1/2 years. That's Craig Biggio, Tony Gwynn…that's Ed Kranepool territory.
Bernie was known for having his lunch and a swath of Casey's or Hozzie's, too. Your kitty had to have been pretty special if he didn't elbow his way into her plate. Sounds very bewitching.
Thanks for the electronic hug….
She was quite the little minx….Bernie would have been smitten.
And you're right…it was a good run.
