 
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?

They'll be amazing, amazing, amazing, and this year I want you to follow 'em. They'll be known in all the periodicals because they'll be in South America — New Year's Day will be their best game. This year will be over in a hurry. —Casey Stengel, 1969 World Series Highlight Film The Ol' Perfesser is right. (Is [...] I’m amused to read the stories of “what are people who want to watch the Giants-Raiders game on New Year’s Eve going to do?” Watch it, of course. Or keep up as best you can via radio. If it’s important to you, you know what you have to do. This blog, as our longtime readers know, [...] Mr. Met gets a little wistful this time of year, realizing that though another season is just around the corner, it means he’s gotten a little older and he has to put one more year in the books. Wow, Mr. Met’s been thinking, 2005 was a heckuva time for him. He made new friends from Boston [...] It’s been more than a year since they played baseball in Montreal or, as they did the last time they ever saw daylight, Flushing. Yet the Expos continue to lurk among us. The streets of baseball are too crowded with Expos tonight.

High school musicals being what they are, there was a lot of double-casting for the leads — the people in the [...] It may be Christmastime in Hell (seven circles down, two burning to go), but let's take a break from accentuating the negative for a couple of minutes at least. On Xmas afternoon three years ago, I drifted off into a beautiful nap. When I awoke at 5 PM (I looked at the clock), CD 101.9 was [...] Clowns to the left of me Jokers to the right Here I am Stuck in the middle with you —Stealers Wheel Just to remind you of where we've been on this journey, I recently set out to flag, tag and mark the sole resident of the Sixth Circle of Met Hell. I had to take an elevator DOWN to the [...] This thought, articulated by Aaron Sorkin and brought to life by a great actor portraying an immortal character, has nothing to do with being a baseball fan. But it has everything to do with being a baseball fan. I don’t understand people who say they’ve had enough. How can you have enough of feeling like this? [...] In hell there's a big hotel Where the bar just closed and the windows never opened No phone so you can't call home And the TV works, but the clicker is broken —Billy Joel It's true. There's a big hotel here. It's the team hotel. It's not a Westin or a Hyatt or even the Travelers near LaGuardia. It's the [...] |
