 
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?

That reminds me of a story for an off-day. Be advised that this story has almost nothing to do with actual baseball. In other words…. Whoop! Whoop! Whoop! Geek Alarm! Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!
