Mike Piazza inspires an opera
That is probably one of the last things would ever had expected when it comes to the best hitting catcher in baseball history.
The former New York Mets catcher has inspired such songs as “Stepping Into the Batter’s Box, He Hears His Father’s Voice”, “Batting Practice” and “Postgame Interview.” Piazza was never directly spoken to by those who wrote the song cycle,...

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...

Mike Piazza Knows What Cap He Wants to Wear
A year from now, we'll know whether or not Mike Piazza is a first ballot Hall of Famer.That said, it appears as though the catching great has already thought about what cap he'd want to be wearing should he be immortalized in Cooperstown.And if that wasn't the most interesting tidbit to come from his interview with Jill Martin from MSG...his choice for "most impressive...

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...

Trade With Cards From The Quarry: A Mike Piazza Bat Slice, A Numbered Bison, and Some Needed Set Needs.
I completed my fourth trade with Johnny of Cards From The Quarry fame. You can check out the first here, the second here, and the third here. I sent my Rockies friend an auto, a low, low serial-numbered TriStar card, and a rookie cup card he needed from the 60s. In return, I received these great cards. First up, a Mike Piazza relic is always a welcome addition to my collection....

Mets ornament of the day: Mike Piazza, a really big star
Mike Piazza wasn't “The Franchise,” because there can be only one. But when we start compling a list of the best players to wear the Mets uniform, he's certainly near the top.Note that such a list would have to be limited to guys who played for the Mets in their prime. There is absolutely no shame in boasting that Willie Mays, Warren Spahn, Duke Snider, Richie Ashburn...

The Mike Piazza Dilemma: Mets or Dodgers?
When Mike Piazza was drafted as a favor in the 62nd round of the 1988 draft, not many people thought that 23 years later, we would be having the discussion of which hat he would be wearing when he gets elected into the baseball hall of fame.
Of course, as Mets fans, our gut says that Piazza should be wearing a Mets jersey when he is enshrined into the hall. If that s the case, he...
