 
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?

Tonight it was the former, with Dickey his usual masterful self, supported by the enlivened bat of Ike Davis and […] 19 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Bud Selig, Carl Pohlad, Contraction, Expos, Hate, Jeffrey Loria, Marlins, R.A.
