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?

Randy Tate was a certain Met. He pitched for the Mets in 1975. […] What constitutes a trend?

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 Geez, Roy Halladay’s good.
