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?

Travis Taijeron’s been passed over before and the Mets already have 75 […] 7 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 1974 Mets, Bob Ojeda, Danny Heep, Jack Aker, Mackey Sasser, Mickey Lolich, Rosters, The Holy Books People ask me what I do during the All-Star break when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for Friday night at 10. The Mets finished beating the Marlins, 9-1, at approximately 4:30 Sunday afternoon. Remember that? It was so long ago, I can understand if you […] 18 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Daniel Murphy, Danny Heep, Ed Randall, Elaine Stritch, Forced Baseball-less Vacation, George Will, John Stearns, Jon Niese, LIRR, New York Giants, Pepe Mangual, Presidents, Rogers Hornsby, The Simpsons, Tony Gwynn, Tyler Yates Congratulations to proven Amazin’ research maven Mathias Kook and talented Metsian writer William Akers for understanding the 1986 World Series was a Fall Classic Sly Stone probably adored, for almost Everybody [Was] A Star.

There’ll be first-pitch greetings from Shawn Marcum, Scott Atchison and LaTroy Hawkins; first-catch greetings from Landon Powell; greetings for the first time in a little while from previously dispatched Omar Quintanilla; greetings for […] 2 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Chris Woodward, Danny Heep, Ed Charles, Football, Going Out On Top, J.C.
