 
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?

Burnett, Anniversaries, Bengie Molina, Cody Ross, Endy Chavez, Matt Cain, Michael Kay, Oliver Perez, Pat Burrell Jason Bay once was Lost. But now he’s Found.

Yeah, I thought, kind of. There was a definite twinge of life after death that followed […] Welcome to Flashback Friday, a weekly feature devoted to the 20th anniversary of the 2006 National League Eastern Division Champion New York Mets.
