MIKE PIAZZA RUMORS & GOSSIP

Trade With Sports Syzygy: A Jay Bruce Bonanza!

I completed my third trade with fellow Mike Piazza fan Mike from Sports Syzygy. You can check out the first here and the second here. I sent Mike a pair of Red Sox minor leaguers (one auto, one serial-numbered parallel) that I pulled from minor league products last year. In return, I was able to snag another sweet All-Star Game relic out of 2011 Topps Update, and it features one...

Mike Piazza: If I’m inducted into the HOF, I’ll go in as a Met

Last night I was at Madison Square Garden for the Knicks game. The game went into double overtime, and the Knicks lost. However, there was one MAJOR bright spot for Mets fans. During halftime, they aired one of those Celebrity Row Twitter questionnaires and none other but the best hitting catcher of all time, Mike Piazza, was on the screen. Someone finally asked the question we...

MANNY HAPPY RETURNS?

A's interested in Manny Ramirez?

Manny Ramirez is doing everything he can to break back into the show, and it seems that Billy Beane and the A's are the team showing the most interest in the mercurial slugger.

MMO Fair or Foul: Mike Piazza’s Mets Legacy

Here’s a new feature that will take a look at some of the stuff making the rounds in the Mets blogosphere. Tell us if you think the following statement is Fair or Foul. It is probably unfair, but to me this encapsulates the 8-year Piazza Era in New York; a time marked by some spectacular play and wonderful moments but ultimately disappointment and failure.  The Mets in Piazza...

Mike Piazza, I Can See Right Through You!

I picked up this Piazza 90s insert from eBay - where else - a couple of months ago. It's not easily photographed, hence my fat fingers being in the below picture. It comes from 1994 Leaf Slideshow, and when held to light, is see-through. I took a video, but it was pretty damn terrible. So it was deleted rather quickly. Not bad for like a buck forty-nine.Next, a Russell Westbrook...
