 
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?

Somebody became a man at Shea Stadium in 1995, according to Bar Mitzvah Disco, the most awesome book from which this picture is lovingly borrowed. Now William A. Synagogue is on the verge of disappearing. Talk about your cause for an oy vey! Note the Harry M. Stevens guy will not serve or sell beer to minors. Bad news […] The oldest established association of professional baseball clubs (and permanent floating crap game) has its champion for 2008. We can’t help but feel the National League was better represented when Ross Chapman and his trusty Faith and Fear t-shirt lined up alongside its shield over the summer, but that’s as close as our first choice would come […] It would have been terrible had Hiroki Kuroda hit Shane Victorino in the head and caused him injury. But since he didn't, I must confess that watching a baseball whiz by the helmet of Shane Victorino Sunday night has been the highlight of this postseason for me, a most bitter, resentful Mets fan. I've got no […] Welcome to the final edition of Flashback Friday: Tales From The Log, a final-season tribute to Shea Stadium as viewed primarily through the prism of what I saw there for myself, namely 402 regular-season and 13 postseason games in total. The Log recorded the numbers. The Tales tell the stories. 10/3/04 Su Montreal 13-12 Gl@v!ne 4 […]  8 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  2004 Mets, Art Howe, Bar Mitzvah, Closing Day, Expos, Flashback Friday, Joe Hietpas, John Franco, Moonlight Graham, Shea Stadium, The 7 Train, Todd Zeile I didn't buy a pair of seats from Shea Stadium. I bought a brick instead. An outfield wall brick. It's a lot less than the seats if not quite equal value. Nine bricks, once you factor in shipping and taxes, would amount to two seats. You don't need nine bricks. I didn't need two seats. One […] Though I'm not yet up to counting the days to pitchers and catchers, I will crawl out of my post-Shea depression long enough to call your attention to the following. • All-time Shea Stadium organist Jane Jarvis is making a public appearance at Saint Peter's Church, Lex and 54th, Sunday evening October 12 as part of […] I didn’t know I was on camera, but while I was applauding for every single Met right up to the Met of Mets (note scoreboard), Stephanie clicked me in action. That, I suppose, is what I was doing for the better part of an hour on September 28, 2008. Bringing Tom Seaver out was the only […] Faith and Fear reader LisaMets loved Shea right to the bitter end. This is the banner she hung from a place that used to be known as Mezzanine Section 27. Didn’t make it on TV, didn’t get shown on DiamondVision, but we’d like to think we know quality and heart when we see it (even […] If only the Mets had more scouts like Ross Chapman, maybe Jerry Manuel wouldn’t have been desperately beating the bushes for relief help down the stretch. Ross wore his trusty Faith and Fear shirt on a scouting adventure this past summer. The Mets went on a long winning streak. Coincidence? No more so than today is Ross’ […] Welcome to Flashback Friday: Tales From The Log, a final-season tribute to Shea Stadium as viewed primarily through the prism of what I saw there for myself, namely 402 regular-season and 13 postseason games in total.
