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?

He padded over to let in the visitors he was expecting. “Dude,” he said. “Are you Omar?”
The doorbell rang at Barry Zito's Southern California beach house. He padded over to let in the visitors he was expecting. “Dude,” he said. “Are you Omar?” It wasn't Omar. “Mister Zito?” “That's my name, bro. Don't wear it out.” Barry Zito peeked out the door. “Dude, where's Omar?” “There's no Omar here, Barry.” “Dude, you're wearing it out!
