I don’t usually pay any mind to the baseball draft, not since waiting unsuccessfully for the Mets’ No. 1 pick of 1995 to turn Shea Stadium into Jaroncyk Park. But this headline from mlb.com surely got my attention:
 
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?

Get Scott Boras to represent Hozzie ASAP!
Turns out my Hosmer slept through the draft altogether. Figures.
Let's Go Kitty Cats! (clap clap clap-clap-clap!). And need I say that my kitty is also named after an imperialist (sort-of) with Napoleon Dynamite Kitty Cat!
All that clapping might startle the kitties…but yeah!
Note that Hozzie must be dreaming of facing Billy Wagner, as he sleeps with one eye open.
Cassie just looks at me quizzicly when I start cheering (by myself…) in the house whenever the Mets do something good. Napoleon D just gets poofy and runs into the other room!
Is there some sort of coincidence between Met fans being kittie lovers/ owners?
By the way,Greg……he's turned into quite the handsome boy. I know you can never replace(Bernie)….but he'll do just fine…..
He has his moments…
