 
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?

…from Game 3 of my Getting Acquainted With It tour was this: There wasn't any particular news. OK, there were a couple of new things I found out. I exited down the ramps in the left-field corner and found them a pleasant surprise — you zig-zag ever downwards, the light filtered by the big sepia banners […] “You like it?” “Yeah.” “Good, 'cause we live here now.” —Danny Tripp and Matt Albie, Studio 60 pilot 1) Shock The first song to come on my iPod on the 5:11 to Woodside was Carly Simon's “Anticipation”. It was a coincidence, I swear. Anticipation. Not dread. Anticipation. I was excited when I left the house just before 5:00. I was excited […] For those who wondered what would come first, the Mets playing in a new ballpark of their own or Gary Sheffield wearing a Mets uniform…it's a tie! All-time reserve Never Met Sheffield has been signed. Unwanted elsewhere, unlikable in general, unskilled relative to what he was a few years ago, yet Doc Gooden's nephew (though they're […] You are more in need of a night in Atlantic City than any man I've ever met. —Will Bailey, upon meeting an overwrought Toby Ziegler, The West Wing I need a trip to the ballpark. Honest to god, I need a trip to the ballpark. Have we got a ballpark? We do, don't we? It's not the same […] If you somehow can't make it tonight's meeting of the Mets History Miniature Bobblehead Year at Citi Field committee…I mean to seeing Jason and me at Varsity Letters (for real), here a few other things you can be doing with your Thursday evening. • You can listen, if you haven't yet, to NY Baseball Digest's Mike […] Thanks to Jason for issuing such a warm invitation to Varsity Letters (Thursday night, 8 PM, details and directions here) as well as for offering a relatively objective review. Thanks to all, really, who have made these first few weeks as a published Mets author so inviting. Your support is as uplifting as it is […] Sports Illustrated just picked us to win the World Series, yet failed to place David Wright prominently on its cover. Perhaps we should be grateful that the mythic jinx has been averted, though SI granted Diamond Dave an upper right corner snipe (CC Sabathia took up most of the rest of the space…which is a true-to-life […] Not that a formal invitation is required, but this Thursday night, April 2, Greg will read from Faith and Fear in Flushing: An Intense Personal History of the New York Mets, at the Happy Ending Lounge, home of Varsity Letters. Here's hoping you'll come out and listen and cheer and maybe buy a copy. (Already […] Citi Field offered Jason and family a bit of bad and a lot of good, as discussed in these first impressions, but on the good side of the ledger it was hard to top this double helping of Awesome. (Let's try an experiment — follow along with this travelogue at this album on Facebook. If it doesn't work, holler in the comments and I'll put it on Flickr or something.)
