What hat should Mike Piazza wear if elected to Cooperstown?

[Jeffy25]

Happy to see you came around...

That game you went to with him in a Marlins uniform must have really struck a cord

It was a really great game.........for my Cardinals

I remember openly talking about that trade and how it didn't make sense for the Marlins (I was 15).

And then they traded him again that week lol.

Mets i didnt even know he played for the dodgers when people think of mike piazza they think of the mets

[gaughan333]

he was the best catcher of the 90's which team did he play for in the 90's? the dodgers, that's where he had his best seasons and rookie of the year and MVP season(he should have gotten it) over parts of 7 seasons. Plus the dodgers were the ones to take a shot on him, no one else would have.

I read in an interview somewhere he would go in as a Met.

I thought players couldn't choose IIRC?

[metswon69]

If it was up to Mike he would go in as a Met.

He's stated as much but considering the decision isn't up to him we'll have to see.

He's a first ballot HOF without question though so we will find out soon enough.

Not since Wade Boggs

Yeah Lasorda certainly has influence here that's why my initial assumption is he goes in as a Dodger.

But i read somewhere (and i could be mistaken) they usually put the player in based on the team with fewer representatives in the HOF if they had similar lengths of playing careers in two places.

That would suggest he would go in as a Met.

[Killer Clown]

Def Mets

Yeah I knew that because if they let Boggs pick he definitely wouldn't have gone in as a Red Sox lol.

But wasn't there some controversy when Andre Dawson went in though?

[kyubi256]

He did more with the Dodgers but he meant more to the Mets

[OaklandFan75]

The A's .. le duh

[benzni]

maybe he will go in "hatless"

[The Bard]

The A's .. le duh

You went through the trouble to find this thread, LMAO.....

Had better numbers as a Dodger.

Played more games as a Met.

Went to the World Series as a Met.

Game Winning Home Run first game after 9/11.

Although his numbers were better as a Dodger they were still HOF caliber with the Mets. He will be remembered as a Met and therefore should go into the HOF as a Met.
