 
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?

Nineteen football wins in nineteen football games, should the nineteenth of them come to pass, is admittedly awesome. Nevertheless, our idea of absolute perfection for a Super Bowl Sunday is transcribing the call of Hall of Fame broadcaster Lindsey Nelson for one half of […] 4 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 1969 Mets, Cubs, Lindsey Nelson, Radio, Salute to Baseball, Tom Seaver Don Cardwell, one of the Miracle Mets’ elder statesmen, died Monday at 72. It’s been that kind of offseason: Most of the headlines the Mets make are because there are fewer of them, and not because three or four are headed to Minnesota for Johan Santana. Jim Beauchamp died shortly before New Year’s; now Cardwell. What […] Sesame Street came along a little too late to be of any use to me.

Welcome to Flashback Friday, a weekly feature devoted to the 20th anniversary of the 1986 World Champion New York Mets. Twenty years, 43 Fridays. This is one of them. Let’s kick off the proceedings with one very simple question: Was 1986 the best year ever? That’s not a snarky VH-1 formulation. It is a sincere inquiry. Was […] 10 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 1969 Mets, 1985 Mets, 1986 Mets, Flashback Friday, Met Pop Culture What I can’t get over in absorbing the news that Donn Clendenon has passed away is that the ’69 Mets have 70-year-old men. The math is easy enough. Clendenon turned 34 a month after he was obtained from the Expos for four minor leaguers. 1969 was 36 years ago. Add 36 to 34 and you’ve got […] |
