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

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?

Now you can say TLDL instead of TLDR! Thought I’d post what I read at Varsity Letters’ fifth-anniversary shindig last week, for posterity but mostly because it’s a reflection on a Mets game we’d be better off to recall more often, particularly in these trying days. Odds are you’ll recognize it at once — […] 11 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 2000 Mets, Braves, Fans, Hope, John Rocker, Memories, Mike Piazza, Shea Stadium, Superstition 1.
