 
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?

The Academy would like to pause for a moment to remember those Mets who have left us in the past year… Casey Fossum, 2009 Next week the clocks spring ahead. Silly clocks — we’re already there. We’re running on Jenrry Mejia Daylight Savings Time. Mejia was so lights out in his exhibition debut Friday that the umps called the game on account of darkness. This is a great time to be a Mets fan if you ignore thyroids, pink eyes […]  2 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  Amazin' Avenue Annual, Fernando Martinez, Hope, Ike Davis, Jason Pridie, Jenrry Mejia, Kirk Nieuwenhuis, Maple Street Mets Annual, Mike Cervenak, Mike Hessman, Pink Eye, Spring Training, Thyroid Welcome to Flashback Friday: Take Me Out to 34 Ballparks, a celebration, critique and countdown of every major league ballpark one baseball fan has been fortunate enough to visit in a lifetime of going to ballgames.

We’ll be fans of the Big Team That Can’t, the grizzled, paranoid saps who trudge around accompanied by our […] 1 comment - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 2010 Mets, Citi Field, Ike Davis, Jason Heyward, Spring Training Truth in advertising creeps into Metspeak, according to the Times‘ Bats blog: Mets fans had a tough time feeling comfortable in Citi Field ast season, mainly because the team performed so poorly. But some fans were also irked that they could not see parts of the field from their seats, especially in left field.
