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 approximately 4:22 PM until 10:31 PM Eastern Daylight Time, I rooted for a first-place team, albeit one whose claim was staked temporarily and by a mere two percentage points. Still, what a wonderful six hours and nine minutes it was…particularly the part before 7:10. Then the lights went out. The lights went out on the […]  18 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  All-Stars, Angel Pagan, Carlos Beltran, David Wright, First Place, Jerry Seinfeld, Jose Reyes, R.A. Dickey With the afternoon action on the South Side of Chicago complete, your baseball team is first among its peers. One small step for Mets… Let’s see if we can’t, as with our clothes to our skin, make this stick. FLIGHT ATTENDANT: More anything? I don’t get to sit anywhere I want and I don’t have access to everything there is, but otherwise I’ve been a first-class passenger at Citi Field for the past ten games I’ve attended. When it comes to baseball, I get just about anything I could possibly want. • […] 10 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 2010 Mets, Citi Field, Jerry Seinfeld, Records, Tigers, Winning Streaks I’ve been dying to see the Mets play the Tigers in Flushing since a little before 8:00 PM on Saturday, October 14, 2006. Magglio Ordoñez had just hit a three-run homer to clinch a four-game sweep of the American League Championship Series in Detroit. We were minutes from commencing Game Three of the NLCS in […] 10 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 2006 Mets, 2006 NLCS, Faith and Fear Book, Interleague Play, Nagging Regret, Sharon Chapman's Marathon Run, Steve Trachsel, Tigers, Tug McGraw You know what they say about taking lemons and making lemonade? Or whatever it is chickens leave behind and turning it into chicken salad? Well, I’m guessing you’ll know exactly what that’s all about tonight at 6:30 when SNY debuts Mets Yearbook: 1978, wherein a two-game improvement from 1977’s 64-98 disaster will likely be hailed […] If I were a baseball player on a baseball team that had just won eight in a row and twelve of thirteen, I’d want that feeling to last forever. In fact, I’d make it last as long as I could by not swinging at the very first pitch I saw in a game that could […] 3 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | David Wright, Jason Bay, Jose Reyes, Phil Hughes, Team History, Winning Streaks MATCHUP: Us at Them, 7:05 PM Friday; 1:05 PM Saturday; 1:05 PM Sunday. KEYS TO THE SERIES: Fuck Them. Let’s Go Mets. Not necessarily in that order. Welcome to Flashback Friday: Take Me Out to 34 Ballparks, a celebration, critique and countdown of every major league ballpark one baseball fan has been fortunate enough to visit in a lifetime of going to ballgames. BALLPARK: Nationals Park Nationals Park struck me as […] I’ve never ordered a screwdriver. Never had one ordered for me. Never mixed one unless you count a fifth-grade Monday morning science fair when I got desperate for a topic the night before and decided my topic would be Mixology, the science of matching drink recipes to astrological signs. I got that from a Southern […] I was checking my trusty 2010 Mets pocket schedule and every single last one of the boxes — be it orange, bronze, silver, gold, platinum or road gray — indicates we play OPP. Naughty By Nature notwithstanding, that’s shorthand for Opponent. I don’t care if everybody else’s 2010 Mets pocket schedule says we’re following BAL […] |
