 
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?

What’s wrong with this picture? Let’s instead go with what’s right about it. This card was brought to my attention a couple of months ago and I can’t get it out of my head. It’s a veritable diner placemat that urges you to find all the things that are wrong with it while you […]  5 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  1962 Mets, Baseball Cards, Chris Cannizzaro, Polo Grounds, Team History These days SNY’s broadcasts are a showcase for not only horrific baseball but also acres and acres of unoccupied green seats. The Mets are touting increasingly desperate ticket plans — you can get into Citi Field for a steep discount by bringing a child, a Pepsi can, enthusiasm for R.A. Dickey or, quite possibly, a […] 12 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 2013 Mets, Marketing, Opening Day Deals, Sales If I learned anything from the contestants who vied for the Fifty Sheas of Krane grand prize of the New York Mets 50th Anniversary Collector’s Edition DVD Set from A+E Networks Home Entertainment/MLB Productions is that if they devoted themselves to designing a similar contest for me to take, I’d be hard-pressed to match the […] 2 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Ed Kranepool, Fiftieth Anniversary, Joe Ginsberg, Team History Have I got a book for you.

And damned if I’m not going to advise you […] 1 comment - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Excellent Addition to Your Baseball Library, The Happiest Recap (The Book) The name “R.A. Dickey” has become to us Mets fans what “Maria” was to Tony in West Side Story. Say it loud and there’s music playing Now, with the 2012 Cy Young Award voted R.A. Dickey’s way by veritable landslide, suddenly that name will never be the same again. It’s only […] 27 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Cy Young, Most Valuable Met, R.A. Dickey, Stephen Sondheim, West Side Story If you’ve been with us a while, you’ve probably noticed that I hate the Marlins. As in, I really, really, really hate the Marlins. Every three months or so, I have a frothing-at-the-mouth tantrum about them. Since this will be the third of 2012, I’ll keep it fairly short.
