 
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?

I have two questions regarding the Gold Glove awards: 1) How is it that Keith Hernandez won so many of them (11) yet refers to them on broadcasts as “Golden Gloves”?

I guess I just answered that question. 2) How did David Wright win […] Welcome to the third annual rundown of players who made their Met debuts in the now-completed season, brought to you by baseball cards and obsessiveness.

Comments here. Sorry about the slippers — needed something to prop up Gomez and Sele. I watched the games on TV, but I never could quite put Shea and football together. Even with photographic evidence, I can’t picture the Jets in Flushing, even if they don’t belong in Jersey. Our autumn expatriates ought to come back next November for a scrimmage or something, get some intended use out of the old Jets […] I don’t honestly have much use for football — I generally tune in in late December, when I’m desperate for the sight of grass, and then whatever bandwagon team I pick gets bounced in the first round. But tonight was different: The Colts and the Patriots in a game that might as well be this […] One of my favorite Faith and Fear comments of 2007 included this line directed at me by the ever-popular Anonymous in disagreement with my insistence that the Mets retire 24 in honor Willie Mays’ achievements as a New York National League legend: Stop drinking the cool aid [sic] with those old guys up in Riverdale. I found […] Willard Mullin‘s Jint was the colossus of the baseball world in 1954, a status celebrated on the cover of the New York Giants’ 1955 yearbook. Gosh, he’s so happy there. How could have he known just three years later…oh, never mind. |
