⚾ A Legacy Continued
Mike Piazza, inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2016, is widely considered the greatest offensive catcher in MLB history. He smashed 220 home runs as a Met and helped lead the team to the 2000 World Series. His No. 31 jersey was retired in 2016.
This marks his most direct return to the dugout since his brief managerial stint in Italy’s pro league and serving as a Team Italy coach in the World Baseball Classic.
🧡💙 With Piazza back in the fold, the Mets are hoping to recapture the fire that made him a legend—and bring it to a new generation of Amazins.
