SNY is breaking out the good stuff, Thursday night at 6:30. It’s the return of Mets Yearbook, and the edition they’re opening is 1969.
Is there anything else you need to know? I don’t think so.

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?

Welcome to The Happiest Recap, a solid gold slate of New York Mets games culled from every schedule the Mets have ever played en route to this, their fiftieth year in baseball. We’ve created a dream season consisting of the “best” first game in any Mets season, the “best” second game in any Mets season, […]  15 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  1968 Mets, 1969 Mets, 1985 Mets, Fiftieth Anniversary, Gary Carter, Jerry Koosman, Team History, The Happiest Recap, Tommie Agee Nothing makes any Mets fan who spent significant time with Bob Murphy from 1962 through 2003 happier than a Happy Recap. When the Mets would win, Murph would promise the cheerful postgame particulars after this important word from whichever sponsor on the WFAN (or WHN or WMCA, et al) Mets Radio Network.

Still, the whole John Fogerty “beat the drum, hold the phone, the sun came out today” sensation usually associated with the first game of the year grew rather hollow once I realized what I was waiting […] 4 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Brad Emaus, Carlos Beltran, Duke of Iron, John Buck, John Fogerty, Josh Johnson, Just One Game, Marlins, Mets Opening Day, Mike Pelfrey, Pedro Beato, Scott Hairston, Terry Collins, Willie Harris Last night’s blogger conference call took me by surprise. The Mets usually give us more than 20 minutes’ notice, but you take what you can get. Unfortunately for my fellow bloggers, it didn’t seem like most of them could get to the phone, because by the time it started — around eleven, just after the […] Aaron Heilman has been thwarted in his latest attempt to make a starting rotation and will pitch in relief for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

That is to say he’s “on,” I’m guessing, whether there’s a phone line open or not.
