The Mets Fan Who Doesn't Care That We Suck

G-Fafif Sep 14 2012 10:54 AM

I was never interested much in sports. However, recently I have been reviewing my life and found out that my father was a Mets fan. I realized as I was approaching 48 years old (and finally in therapy) that I could just dive in and feel a link to my past and my father. So a Mets fan (me) was born 42 years after the fact. Remarkable story I sort of stumbled upon.

Lovely column. A must read.

WOW , that was gold, you're a hell of a writer ..... So a Mets fan (me) was born 42 years after the fact. It was like you were going back in time to get me at 6 years old, taking me by the hand, and leading me through Mets history so that I could join them in the present. that is really awesome really cool that you will meet Ed next season.

Thanks, though I tip my cap to Ed for a) digging deep to find his inner Mets fan and b) framing his story so honestly. I love stories of this ilk.
