 
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?

Things seemed to go well with our first order of Faith and Fear in Flushing “numbers” shirts from PrintMojo, so we put in a second, bigger order. So if you want one, click here. (As before, if anything's amiss, email us and we'll see what we can do.) If you're unfamiliar with the numbers shirt, […] Realization #84,024 That You Are a Hopeless Met Geek: At the beginning of “I Am Legend,” the not-at-all-bad Will Smith postapocalyptic thriller Emily and I saw last night, we’re fed exposition about how an anticancer treatment becomes a virus that turns people into Yankee fans retarded, ultraviolent zombies who live in packs. We’re brought up to […] Quick clothing-related update: Our stash of shirts from Print Mojo is going fast, but we've ordered a whole bunch more in all sizes. They should be available in around two weeks — we'll post when the new batch is up. In the meantime, this is our first time working with this vendor, so if you […] A year after we sold out of the first batch, we've finally got our act together and are proud to make available a second batch of the famous Faith and Fear “numbers” t-shirts, seen over the last 12 months in photos of readers taken from Verona, N.J., to Venice. Only difference between these new shirts and […] Here he is, roided up and ready to throw bat shards at people in the first of the new shipment of Faith and Fear “numbers” t-shirts! (We promise that while the photo is crappy, the shirt is not.) Yes, the shirts are finally back. Only difference between these and the original batch is the Web address […] I've written in depth about performance-enhancing drugs twice on this blog. The first time was when the San Francisco Chronicle established, to the satisfaction of all but the most-determined fantasists, that Barry Bonds had taken steroids (and insulin and HGH and Clomid and, for good measure, crap that makes cattle more muscular). I called Bonds's story […] OK, quick quiz: If I told you that the Mets had just swung a deal in Nashville (they haven't), and included a link where you could find out the details, what would be your emotions as you clicked through? If you chose “anxiety,” “despair,” “dread” or a similar word as your answer, welcome to the 2007 […] I'm not devastated, but I am disappointed. Devastated is a word used for greater things in life than a game. I was disappointed in the way I pitched. I got some ground balls, but I can't control where they go. A couple got through. Another was too slow to turn a double play. — Tom Glavine, […] Hmm. What's on the various flavors of HBO? FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP Jeez, maybe I should use the guide. DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN “48 Hours,” hmm. Waitaminute, there's an ESPN on channel 173? What's that it's saying? Is that BASEBALL? SELECT IT IS BASEBALL! IT IS! LOOK! IT'S “ZUL” VS. “CAR!” “ZUL” IS UP 4-0! IT'S BASEBALL! YAAAAAAY!!!!! Man, these Venezuelan League […] Welcome to the third annual rundown of players who made their Met debuts in the now-completed season, brought to you by baseball cards and obsessiveness. A brief review, that the initiated can skip (provided they haven’t skedaddled already): I have a pair of binders, dubbed The Holy Books (THB) by Greg, that contain a baseball card […] |
