Faith and Fear in Flushing made its debut on Feb. 16, 2005, the brainchild of two longtime friends and lifelong Met fans.

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?

Pelf certainly held his own as long as he could, until the eighth when the Phillies began to […] 10 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Baseball Etiquette, Fox, Jerry Manuel, Lucas Duda, Luis Hernandez, Mike Pelfrey, Tim McCarver |
