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?

Dickey’s bid for a second consecutive complete game victory with one out in the ninth inning. That may not have seemed like the moment for Mets fan self-confidence, but if I had done my homework, I might have […] 7 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Bobby Thomson, Duaner Sanchez, Expos, Fred Wilpon, Geoff Blum, Jerry Izenberg, John Sterling, One-Hitters, R.A.
