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?

FAFIF Fantasy Camp correspondent Jeff Hysen spent Inauguration Day not so solemnly swearing while, to the best of his ability, attempting to execute fundamentals and defend against fly balls. Now that he’s iced his chest, Jeff files his dispatch from Tuesday. The next time that I hear about a player being late for practice during spring […] From the St. Lucie clubhouse where Jeff Hysen is having a [friggin’] good time. I’m trying to picture any number of Mets reading these signs and being inspired. Impossible, isn’t it? Well, maybe Wright. I dare our new president to post the top one in the Oval Office after yesterday. You’ve read of the path that brought Jeff Hysen to Mets Fantasy Camp this week. And hopefully you’ve noticed the change of clothes he can believe in. Now Jeff tells us what it was like becoming a Met yesterday. I was greeted by Ed Kranepool, in uniform, as I entered the locker room for the first […] Our Fantasy Camp correspondent Jeff Hysen sends along the contents of his locker.

For some, it must seem like a fantasy that their perennially pathetic football team has made it to the championship game. Two Sundays from now, their fantasy will come true. For others, it must seem like a fantasy that someone who looks like them is about to be sworn in as President of the United States.

This poker set includes two decks of casino-quality cards, 5 dice, a dealer button and 500 high quality 11.5g clay composite chips. Everything comes packaged in a superior quality, rounded-corner aluminum case with acrylic top displaying […] MIRACLE ON THE HUDSON is a headline I would have hoped to have seen describe some incredible play some incredible second baseman made on our behalf (a second baseman who's still sitting out there on the open market, FYI). But this other thing will do, too. Having grudgingly rewatched Game Seven of the 2006 NLCS […] Given the generally unfavorable reaction the planned Citi Field Inaugural Season sleeve patch has received, the Mets have altered the design slightly and believe this new version will meet with fan approval. |
