Here they are, awaiting the coming of springtime and their new home in a Brooklyn backyard. Pretty sweet, huh? Well … eventually. More about that here.
 
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?

“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!” (Fade out and credits) Hat tip to Metsblog‘s Matt Cerrone for the original photo. Our thanks to Jeff Hysen for letting us in on his Mets Fantasy Camp experience and where it’s taken him. He may not make it to Citi Field without a ticket, but his reports were big league all the way. The Fantasy Campers see what the Mets tell their players in the St. Lucie clubhouse. It all appears to be very good advice, but maybe they could add a line like “DON’T COLLAPSE THIS YEAR”? Jeff Hysen and his fellow Fantasy Campers received a stern (if not Stearns) lecture on how to properly prepare their clubhouse laundry, but Jeff no doubt got extra credit for adding a Faith and Fear t-shirt to his load. Add one to yours here. From the St. Lucie clubhouse where Jeff Hysen is having a [friggin’] good time. I’m trying to picture any number of Mets reading these signs and being inspired. Impossible, isn’t it? Well, maybe Wright. I dare our new president to post the top one in the Oval Office after yesterday. Our Fantasy Camp correspondent Jeff Hysen sends along the contents of his locker. He is, of course, paying tribute to his idol Jose Lima. Admit it: HYSEN 17 looks better on Met pinstripes than CASTILLO 1. Winter, of course, is for the birds, but at least one FAFIF reader makes the snow seem that much more tolerable with an orange and blue birdhouse that brightens any branch. Thanks to Jersey Jack Susser for sending along this image of his avian accommodations. This Upper Deck MLB New York Mets Poker Set lets you enjoy one of the most popular games today.
