Our old friend Ross Chapman hits the jackpot (blue and orange M&M’s!) in Las Vegas thanks to the numbers you can find in only two places: above the left field wall in Shea Stadium (and good luck with that a year from now) and on the world-famous, well–traveledFaith and Fear in Flushing t-shirt that pays homage to […]
 
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?

We don’t use a lot of mustard around here, so I’m not surprised what we have in the fridge is, like me today, kind of old. I took the mustard out the weekend before last and noticed that the Gulden’s people had warned me that it was BEST BY SEP132007. Funny, I thought. If the season had ended […] One sinker sinks like it was supposed to and Jimmy Qualls isn’t even a trivia answer. And the magician on the first Sesame Street finds another paper to tear to shreds. In 1986, Keith Hernandez, 32, told William Nack of Sports Illustrated, “I most fear boredom and loneliness, life after baseball. Life after baseball equals boredom and loneliness. I don’t want to be a 50-year-old guy sitting and drinking beer in some pickup bar with younger people. I’ve seen it. I don’t want to be that.” In 2007, […] Happy 25th birthday to No. 5 in your program and No. 1 on the backs of just about everybody who’s bought a Mets jersey in the last few years. Somehow I doubt David Wright is home playing his video game tonight. Here he is, roided up and ready to throw bat shards at people in the first of the new shipment of Faith and Fear “numbers” t-shirts! (We promise that while the photo is crappy, the shirt is not.) Yes, the shirts are finally back. Only difference between these and the original batch is the Web address […] With apologies to Gertrude Stein and Oakland, there is no there there any longer by what we have known for years as the 7 extension just beyond Gate E. The extension has been disconnected, torn down, the first of many structures on the premises slated to turn to dust and/or parking by April 2009. As I […] As long as I live, when I hear “manager of the New York Mets,” this 1970 Topps card is the image that will stick with me. Gil Hodges is to Mets managers what sky is to earth: he’s what’s up there above everybody else as high as you can see. I loved Davey Johnson, I […] When all was said and done, maybe Lastings Milledge should have just kept jogging down the right field line that very firstpromising June afternoon, shaken everybody’s hand goodbye and then hit the road. For it seemed the moment he displayed a bit of verve and panache, he was on somebody’s list…and I don’t mean this extraordinarily memorable […] Whoever is responsible for placing advertising on mets.com has replaced the offer to download select (and purely hypothetical) games from the Mets 2007 Postseason directly to your PC with one that says you can download select 2007 Mets Full Games directly to your PC. It’s not a fine distinction and we applaud the alteration. We do, however, […] |
