 
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?

Now that’s a star. Bernie The Cat, on a winter’s evening in 1994, is as ready for his closeup as he’s gonna get.Note a) the Sprockets look I sported for this photo shoot; b) our devotion to yet another cat (and his overwrought asthma-hound Chihuahua companion) from the early ’90s; and c) my enduring pride at having attended the first Mets-Rockies series ever. That pennant hung in our living room well after 1993 was revealed to have been 1993.
We were such crazy kids. 4 comments to Glamour Puss |

Who is that callow youth? So young and full of hope?
Oh.
It's Bernie.
Can't figger out who the other guy is…
That was from that “have your picture taken with Bernie” promotion a local radio station was running. I think.
Oh, for the chance to be so young again….
Bernie was about a year-and-a-half old then. I was whatever I was.
