From Merry Olde England

The life of Brian includes a numerical tribute to a team that doesn't swing by the U.K. too often. Before the Christmas trees start coming down and just ahead of Boxing Day, we have this cup of Yuletide cheer to share from the United Kingdom. FAFIF reader Brian Spencer — whom Stephanie and I had the pleasure of meeting (along with his lovely wife Chris) at Citi Field this past season — is kind enough to send us evidence of what the Faith and Fear t-shirt looks like all lit up for the holidays, somewhere in the north of England. Yes Virginia, there are Mets fans on other continents…and still a few hardy blue and orange souls on this one.
