New York Mets legend Mike Piazza hopes All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso remains with the club past this season and the 2024 campaign.
Piazza believes Mets fans should cherish what the two-time National League Cy Young Award winner gave them even if he signs elsewhere, but he certainly hopes deGrom stays put.
This day in Los Angeles Dodgers history saw Mike Piazza hit what once held as the longest home run at Coors Field. Piazza’s blast on Sept. 26, 1997, was hit off Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Darren Holmes and traveled 496 feet.
It's been a few years since the Dodgers had a catcher that could hit like Will Smith. Former Dodgers backstop Yasmani Grandal could hit for power, but piled up strikeouts like they were going out of style.
When Will Smith first came up with the big club, the concerns were that he would struggle to perform offensively. That's been anything but the case. Smith has been a steadying presence in the middle third of the Dodgers order since he first came up in 2019.
Hall of Fame catcher Mike Piazza, who reportedly lives in Italy most of the year, already has Baltimore Orioles slugger Trey Mancini ready to play for the team.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have a rich history that includes several Hall of Famers and World Series titles, but their trade of Mike Piazza in May 1998 is one of the few unfortunate stains on the franchise.
When it comes to the NL Rookie of the Year Award, the Dodgers dominated in the 1990s.
The Dodgers have spanned two coasts, but through the move from Brooklyn to Los Angeles they maintained their status as a celebrated baseball franchise.
