 
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?

A 1995 Met is the perfect touch. From the standpoint of FAFIF mythology, only Bill Pulsipher would have been more appropriate. Your co-bloggers’ first game together was June 17, […] 17 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 1995 Mets, 2011 Mets, Anniversaries, Bill Pulsipher, Bill Spiers, Carlos Beltran, Internal Affairs, Jason Isringhausen, Mets Fans On September 28, 2010, Ruben Tejada came to bat in the bottom of the ninth inning with a pair of runners on base and the Mets down 3-2 to the Milwaukee Brewers.

I had what I thought was the obvious answer Sunday: I’m assuming she was the singer at the Home Opener a dozen years ago and, true […] 8 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 1995 Mets, Bill Pulsipher, Brook Fordyce, Byron Gainey, Carl Everett, Carlos Beltran, Edgardo Alfonzo, Jason Isringhausen, Jay Payton, Julio Zorilla, Preston Wilson, Rey Ordonez What were you doing ten years ago today?
