 
Faith and Fear in Flushing made its debut on Feb. 16, 2005, the brainchild of two longtime friends and lifelong Met fans. 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?

If Metsian memories are building from a trickle to a flood, then it must be Flashback Friday at Faith and Fear in Flushing. I’m unreasonably loyal to inanimate objects. Got this bright, shiny new computer recently that I refused to plug in for several days after delivery because it seemed unfair to the old, slightly rickety […]  6 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  1992 Mets, Flashback Friday, Hall of Fame, Howie Rose, Radio, Tom Seaver, WFAN Pitchers and presumably some catchers are in Port St. Lucie, but it’s not Pitchers & Catchers. It’s Mets Mini-Camp! One hand is clapping. The Mets have apparently been doing this in January for six years though I don’t remember anything about it before 2005.

The parochial nuggets are neither Ripken at 98.5% of the vote nor Gwynn at 97.6% matched Tom Seaver’s 98.84% from 1992 (yay!) and that Bobby Bonilla, due presumably to a shaking hand and a pair […] Ripken in.

And just like that, it’s forgotten. Let’s Go Mets! The Jets were disappointing and the Giants were heartbreaking. And just like that, it’s forgotten. Let’s Go Mets! Jets at 1:00. Giants after 4:00. Some variation on this schedule has been in place almost every week since early September, but it rarely made me blink. September was for baseball. October was for baseball.
