New York Mets
Los Angeles Dodgers
Some sort of combination of the two
He's not going to the Hall of Fame.
Well, he had amazing individual seasons with the Mets also, and 4 Silver Sluggers there. The numbers aren't nearly as good, but I'm thinking the success with the Mets means so, so much more. This guy was in two NLDS sweeps against the Dodgers, but made it to the NLCS in his first full season with the Mets, then to the World Series the year after that.
When I think of Mike Piazza, I do think of how he was my favorite Dodger when I was a teenager, but more than that I think about the Subway Series, the Roger Clemens incidents, things like that. It's difficult even as a Dodger fan to view him as a Dodger, so the Hall of Fame thing is a little bit lost on me, to be honest...
Me, personally (this can't really be argued for or against, it's just how I feel), I simply see Mike Piazza as barely more of a Dodger than Strawberry, Sheffield, McGriff, Brown... he came up with the Dodgers and played better for the Dodgers, but to me he's just yet another superstar who wore the uniform but never was part of a successful season.
And if you look really, really deeply in to his past, it turns out that his REAL father (not the adoptive capo guy) was, in fact, a Dark Lord of the Sith! And one time, when he was 14, he tried asking this girl out, but she laughed at his hair, so he burned down the entire school with his psychic powers while it was full of students, then gorged himself on their souls when they died, because that's where his powers come from, since his real mother was the demonic overlord of the planet Dagrab'h!
Seriously, Frijolito, keep it coming...it's giving me a chance to stretch my creative muscles about as much as you're stretching yours.
Also, he was a guard at Auschwitz, and I think he was the guy on the grassy knoll in Dallas back in '63. Oh, and he makes kiddie porn, too.
Mike Piazza was a top advisor to Saddam Hussein and Fidel Castro as well.![]()

Don't get me started on Piazza's lack of patriotism. He refused to represent the good ol U S of A in the WBC. Instead opting to represent the Italians! I also saw him numerous times not singing along with the national anthem. I suspect he is somehow connected to that Terrorist, Muslim, Commie, Racist, non pin wearing Obama. They must be scheming on how to imprision all the white non Italian Americans. He should be hung for treason much less put in the HOF.
And let us not forget the horrors he committed in the forest of Make-Believe, using his gingerbread house to entice children, only to bake and consume them when they made the mistake of nibbling on the sedative-laced frosting trim. He should certainly stand trial for that! And you know who liked to wear a moustache? HITLER! CLEARLY in cahoots!
