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?

Either way, our boys will be lacing up spikes that are not — no matter how much elbow grease the clubhouse staff has put […]  26 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  2006 Mets, 2006 NLCS, Adam Wainwright, Carlos Beltran, Disappointment, Jeff Suppan, Oliver Perez, Yadier Molina Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
