There were always rumors that Mr. Piazza was a "switch" hitter, so to speak.

Not that it should affect his baseball status.

Remember all those rumors about him being gay? I had the chance to meet him in Vegas through a mutual friend. I assure you those rumors were completely false. Either that or the incredible looking women he was with was an act. Incredibly nice guy, too.

I'm biased, but I think Biggio's deservingness is greater than Piazza's.

Neither.....which fans ? loser Met fans ? Lenny Dykstra was a favorite of those fans too. Pudge Rodriguez is a hall of fame catcher, Piazza is no Pudge, Rodriguez or Fisk.

yeah, i knew there were the occasional rumors. has nothing to do with baseball ability or hall of fame eligibility. just trying to give AS a hard time, because his comment was out of line.

Yes. I'm not sure he was an all star as a catcher, but he started at least 300 games at C, 2B and CF.
