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?

Things are getting chippy between the Mets and A’s — and you know what, that’s fine. Baseball should be a little chippy. Tuesday saw Austin Adams, whom most of us forgot was ever a spring training Met, all but levitate after coming in and saving Joe Boyle‘s bacon, a display that culminated with Adams doing the […]  9 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  A's, Austin Adams, Darell Hernaiz, David Peterson, Daz Cameron, Francisco Lindor, Huascar Brazoban, Joey Estes, Mark Kotsay, Mark Vientos, Mike Cameron, Pete Alonso, Phil Nevin, Shawn Estes, T.J. McFarland, Tyler Nevin Welcome to the seventh chapter of Faith and Fear’s historical countdown of the The Top 100 Mets of the 2000s. A full introduction to what we’re doing is available here.

As exclusivity goes, it’s an honor that falls somewhere between the United States Senate and one of those Facebook groups that requires an invitation. It’s not that incredible that you’d get in, but making it there probably says something about your interests and perhaps your capabilities.
