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?

For our purposes, let’s say it’s when two people you know relay to you, independent of one another, the same piece of information accompanied by a similar slice of curiosity. In her upcoming memoir, Not That Kind Of Girl, the reliably trendy Lena Dunham says her gynecologist used to pitch for the […] 11 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Art Shamsky, Dave Roberts, David Newhan, Elliott Maddox, Greg Goossen, Ike Davis, Joe Ginsberg, Josh Satin, Lena Dunham, Mets Pop Culture, Norm Sherry, Randy Jones, Randy Milligan, Randy Myers, Randy Niemann, Randy Sterling, Randy Tate, Scott Schoeneweis, Shawn Green, Tug McGraw, Wally Backman Adam Greenberg gets his second chance for a first impression tonight in Miami. The Marlins responded to his (and his filmmaker advocates’) “position wanted” campaign by saying, in essence, what the hell, it’s a great story, you’ve got a good cause, go put on a uniform, we’ll pinch-hit you in a game that doesn’t much […] 3 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Adam Greenberg, Anderson Hernandez, Blaine Beatty, Bob Apodaca, Bobby Parnell, Butch Benton, Carlos Mendoza, Carlos Muniz, Charlie Greene, Charlie Puleo, Chris Jelic, Cleon Jones, David West, Dean Chance, Dillon Gee, Doc Medich, Don Rose, Duffy Dyer, Ed Kranepool, Fred Lewis, Glendon Rusch, Greg Goossen, Jeff Gardner, Jessie Hudson, Joe Hietpas, Joe Nolan, Joe Vitko, John Candelaria, John Christensen, John Mitchell, Jorge Velandia, Juan Castillo, Kenny Greer, Last-Picked Mets, Lee Mazzilli, Les Rohr, Mark Corey, Mike Fitzgerald, Mike Glavine, Nolan Ryan, Pat Strange, Phil Humber, R.A.

That gray hair gets them. If he offered to sell you the Brooklyn bridge you’d be certain he owned it. “I think Casey was referring to the fact that when I was 29, I’d have 10 years in the league, but of course, he mangled the […] 7 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 1963 Mets, 1965 Mets, Brooklyn Dodgers, Duke Snider, Greg Goossen, Moment of Silence, Seattle Pilots Violinist Issac Stern played great music. Writer Isaac Bashevis Singer wrote great fiction. First baseman Issac Benjamin Davis made a helluva catch on a foul popup in the first inning of Wednesday’s otherwise desultory Met loss. All these Isaacs were blessed with a talent for doing something most people can’t.
