“Oh my God. I’m back … I’m home. All the time, it was … we finally really did it! YOU MANIACS! YOU TORE IT DOWN! AH, DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!”

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?

Help me Dr. Zaius!
Somehow I'd expect the Mets to leave exactly that way for the better part of the next 200 years.
Taylor's pissed because he got ripped off by an ape who sold him a ticket for the game at twice its face value.
Excellent!
