 
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?

Matt Harvey was not the only man in a Mets jersey to have the whole world in his back pocket Tuesday night. It could have been more perfect, I guess.

Jeff contacted Greg after Greg [...]  8 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  1974 Mets, Baseball Brain, First Wins, Jon Matlack, Lee Mazzilli, Long Beach, Moment of Silence, Older Sisters, One-Hitters, Phil Gellis, Second Games, Younger Brothers Did the Citi Field scoreboard start every Oriole batter’s count at 0 balls and 2 strikes Monday night?

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. Dickey, Radio, White Sox There was a home run that became a triple that became an extended farce of a video review session that became a nagging left on base.
