Faith and Fear in Flushing made its debut on Feb. 16, 2005, the brainchild of two longtime friends and lifelong Met fans.

What’s the purpose of these trivia […] 10 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Darryl Strawberry, Dietary Restrictions, Doc Gooden, Doc Medich, Dominic Leone, Dwight Gooden, Jerry Koosman, Mariners, Milestones, Pepe Mangual, Pete Alonso, Ronny Mauricio, The Log, Trivia, US Open Coming this Sunday night: The favorite football team of many (if not all) Mets fans, playing for the championship of its sport.
