    When Piazza broke in with the Dodgers in 1993, it was unlike anything I’ve ever seen. He was crushing it. As a catcher. Never had the opportunity to “rest” as a DH in his prime either. Best offensive catcher ever.

No one has ever hit a ball that hard of Mariano rivera in a 9th inning world series game. He is yankee killer for sure one of the greatest catchers in the game and in mets history.

    Piazza was a legend. I’ll never forget how stupefied baseball fans were when he was traded to the Marlins at the deadline. Only a few days later the Mets claimed him off waivers I believe. Crazy. It feels like yesterday, but then you look at a video of him homering at the Astrodome and suddenly it’s like, “holy shit, it was that long ago?!”
    I never understood why opponents pitched Piazza fastballs away. He always seemed to connect on them.

  • @b0nkert0ns7
    @b0nkert0ns7 Месяц назад

    I was born in 86. My earliest memories of being a Mets fan were in like 92. I loved watching that team but I knew they were bad. All your friends being Yankees fans and seeing all this success only made it worse. Then I remember seeing Piazza get traded to the Marlins and thinking “why can’t we ever get players like this?”
    A couple weeks later or whatever it was, imagine my surprise watching Sportscenter and seeing a picture of Piazza in a Mets hat. It was such an amazing moment. Those 98-01 teams solidified my die-hard fandom and are some of my greatest memories. Most of them centering around Mike.
    I will forever love Wright and DeGrom, but Piazza was the best Mets player I’ve ever seen.

    A lot of these Piazza home-runs are off the Yankees in general and Roger Clemens specifically. This is my question. Why did the Mets and the Yankees play so often? Back then, there was no inter-league play, National League versus American League. Thus, the Mets and the Yankees had to meet in the World Series. Did the Mets and Yankees play against each other a lot in the World Series? I don't seem to remember this.
