ABOUT US

Greg Prince and Jason Fry

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.

As The Wayward Tank Rolls

In 2005, Todd Pratt completed yet another year as a Philadelphia Phillie.

In 2006, Todd Pratt filled in behind the plate as an Atlanta Brave.

In 2007, Todd Pratt has accepted an invitation to Spring Training with the New York Yankees.

Who will need a backup catcher in 2008? Al-Qaeda?

Tank isn't the first 2000 National League Champion Met […]

Sitting in the Car with Tom and Howie

If Metsian memories are building from a trickle to a flood, then it must be Flashback Friday at Faith and Fear in Flushing.

I’m unreasonably loyal to inanimate objects. Got this bright, shiny new computer recently that I refused to plug in for several days after delivery because it seemed unfair to the old, slightly rickety […]

Camp Already? Just a Little

Pitchers and presumably some catchers are in Port St. Lucie, but it’s not Pitchers & Catchers. It’s Mets Mini-Camp!

Hey! Bo! Welcome to Cooperstown!

Since there’s no law against him driving there, or buying a ticket afterwards, I imagine that’s what some overly friendly local might say this summer, seeing a certain former New York Mets slugger waddling through the parking lot of baseball’s Hall of Fame.

At least that’s the only way Bobby Bonilla is going to Cooperstown. No, […]

Don't Stick Around Much Anymore

Ripken in. Gwynn in. Gossage close. McGwire nowhere in sight.

Those are the headlines from the 2007 Hall of Fame election. The parochial nuggets are neither Ripken at 98.5% of the vote nor Gwynn at 97.6% matched Tom Seaver’s 98.84% from 1992 (yay!) and that Bobby Bonilla, due presumably to a shaking hand and a pair […]

Seven Hours Closer to Baseball

The Jets were disappointing and the Giants were heartbreaking.

And just like that, it’s forgotten.
