 
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?

He was Johan Santana, […] 10 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Anthony Swarzak, Brodie Van Wagenen, Bull Durham, Edwin Diaz, Gerson Bautista, Jarred Kelenic, Jay Bruce, Justin Dunn, Robinson Cano, The West Wing, Trades The 2018 Mets season took place in miniature in the northern suburbs of Atlanta on Tuesday.

Well, fuck. That bottom of the ninth was brief.
