Mike Piazza’s memorable HR, Sept. 21, 2001
(First MLB game played in NYC after 9/11)
Mike Piazza God Save The Fan 100 Things Mets Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die 9/11From a chapter of Will Leitch’s God Save The Fan, about 9/11 and sportswriters:
It’s not just a game; it must Mean Something. Thing is, your average sportswriters are incapable of stretching past the sedentary limits of their job description. By overextending their perspective, they insult everyone, even the players they’re supposedly deifying.
From 100 Things Mets Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die, about the first Mets game after 9/11:
Mike Piazza, the team’s star looked up to in good times and bad, drilled a high fly to center that cleared the wall and cleared the throats of everyone who had watched the game but hadn’t known what to think or do. They cheered. It was all right to cheer. Never forget, but remember how precious each moment is. That moment certainly was.
Mike Piazza (C) i miss this man like whoa!
Mike Piazza told the New York Times that he’d like to be inducted into the Hall of Fame as a NY Met.
