 
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?

It’s available via the Team Amazin’ store on eBay, which is run by my lovely […]  6 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  Amazin' Again, Excellent Addition to Your Baseball Library The Mets have played home games in two counties of New York City, so I’ll do the same in the coming days, as the preseason book tour for Amazin’ Again: How the 2015 New York Mets Brought the Magic Back to Queens continues. This Saturday, March 26, from roughly noon to three, I’ll be at Foley’s, […] 11 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Amazin' Again, Bergino Baseball Clubhouse, Excellent Addition to Your Baseball Library “Someday there will be nostalgia for the seventies, as hard as that may be to realize now.” Willie Nelson was right: it is funny how time slips away.

That’s the chapter author Michael Garry devotes to Eric Hillman. Eric Hillman you probably remember if you were an active Mets fan between 1992 and 1994.

That’s the hardest thing to realize…it goes on without you.” It will go on with Buddy Carlyle on the Mets’ Opening Day roster Monday, just […] 2 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Buddy Carlyle, Eric Campbell, Excellent Addition to Your Baseball Library, Gil Hodges, Mort Zachter Pitchers and catchers reported. Infielders and outfielders followed. Now it’s time for authors and books. March usually brings some promising titles of the Metsian variety, and this one has a couple to think about right off the bat. As a matter of fact, the authors of these books will be appearing in the Metropolitan Area […] It’s a long way from Matty vanquishing Athletics in 1905 to MadBum mowing down Royals in 2014, though if you’ve pitched yourself into the same conversation, the gap grows short. In Game Five of the current World Series, Madison Bumgarner threw a shutout for the ages, certainly one that would have fit comfortably within the […] Aesthetics aside, the Mets’ extended residency in Philadelphia is going pretty well: three of four games have been captured, with one still waiting to be bagged. We’ve seen what Jonathon Niese can do for eight innings when his bullpen needs as much of a blow as he can provide it, we’ve seen how far Lucas […] 5 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 1994 Mets, AJ Mass, Excellent Addition to Your Baseball Library, Juan Lagares, Mascots, Mr. Met, Nickelodeon Extreme Baseball, Phillie Phanatic |
