Everybody else has been posting about some Beard
lately ... HRD looks at ten of the best
Beards in MLB history.
Mike Piazza was struck in the back of
the head by a half-filled water bottle thrown by
a fan at Angel Stadium. "I'm pressing charges,'' Piazza said. "He's going to spend the night in jail. He hit me right in the helmet."
If you need any further proof that we’re
nearly at Opening Day, all you had to do
was read the news yesterday surrounding Major League Baseball. If it wasn’t real news (Red Sox threatening to boycott their trip to Japan), it was stretching news into something more than it may be (collusion and Barry Bonds). Let’s start with the Red Sox… The story has a happy ending... sort of.
Mike Piazza is retiring from baseball following a
19-season career in which he became one of the
top-hitting catchers in history.
Baltimore 's Miguel Tejada and Oakland's Mike Piazza
, two major stars mentioned in trade rumors during
the summer, hit the waiver wire in the last week -- and one is now in a position to be dealt in August, while the other is not. Tejada was claimed ...
Mark another battle complete as our #18 seed
Laura Cover, wife of Aaron Boone, pulled off the
narrow upset of our #10 seed, wife of Brett Tomko, Julia. The next two contestants to duel it out are our #9 seed, wife of Mike Piazza, Alicia Rickter, versus our #19 seed, girlfriend of new Chicago Bear Adam Archuleta, Jennifer Walcott. Which pretty young thing moves on to round three?
The MLB Player’s Association (MLBPA) is investigating whether
collusion is occurring to keep some veteran free agents
from being signed, including Barry Bonds. The investigation has been occurring for several weeks and is looking into not only Bonds, but players such as Kenny Lofton, Mike Piazza, David Wells, Sammy Sosa, and Roger Clemens. As reported by Buster Olney of ESPN : MLBPA ...
Now that Mike Piazza has retired, people are
already debating whether his Hall of Fame plaque should
depict him in a Mets cap or a Dodgers cap. If you look at the numbers , it's no contest -- his greatest years were in L.A. And as a lifelong Mets fan ...
Up until the last few days, Yankees' GM
Brian Cashman has often resisted the temptation of putting
Mike Piazza in pinstripes. But with his current catching situation (and don't forget prospect Francisco Cervelli is still out with a broken wrist) and ...
As much as we might try, we can't
muster up much enthusiasm for the trading deadline this
year, which is in week. No matter scenarios they give us , we just don't believe anyone too huge will end up switching teams. The days of the Mark McGwire, Mike ...
We hear Dan Lozano, South Florida resident Mike
Piazza's agent, told the Marlins the former All-Star catcher
would welcome finishing his career here. But the Marlins (content with Mike Rabelo/Matt Treanor) have shown no interest, largely because of defense. Piazza -- who was a Marlin for one week in 1998 -- hit .275 with eight homers and 44 RBI as Oakland's designated hitter in 2007.
No team has a support staff quite like
the New York Mets. We're still waiting for the
names that former batboy Kirk Radomski fingered as recipients of performance-enhancers after he pled guilty to charges of steroid trafficking and money laundering ...
All-Star Christian After starting his career as the
1,390th player chosen in baseball's 1988 amateur draft, Mike
Piazza has gone on to defy expectations and become one of the top major-league catchers of all time. Piazza won the 1993 Rookie of the ...
I mean, it's mind-boggling. Mike Pizza once hit
40 home runs and OPS+ed 185 as a dude
who has to sit in a painful crouch for half of a three-hour game every day. Plus he wasn't a Bondsian-level jerkass, just sort of prickly-blah. Everyone loves Pizza! ...
Did Roger Clemens lie about his lack of
involvement in baseball's performance-enhancing drugs scandal? And are the
Texas Rangers pursuing another right-handed bat, such as Mike Piazza or Nomar Garciaparra?
After an incredible career, he's finally calling it
quits.
If Piazza's shoulder doesn't recover enough by the
All-Star break for him to throw and return part-time
to catcher, the A's might need to trade him to a team in need of a DH That won't be so easy, however. The Mariners, Twins and Angels all need ...
Bonds fits the A’s criteria in many ways.
First, he’ll be relatively cheap, given all the off-the-field
issues around him, plus he’s 43 and his playing time occasionally is limited by injuries. Second, Oakland almost annually brings in a prominent player on the downside of a good career: Mike Piazza, Frank Thomas, David Justice, Ron Gant, Eric Karros, et al.
Here’s a list of the top 10 players
who are "over the hill."
Mike Piazza's days in Oakland may be limited.
The Mariners, Twins and Angels all have problems at
the DH position and are likely players in the Piazza sweepstakes. It will never happen, but my hometown Mets should go after Piazza and get rid of Julio Franco. Piazza would take over his role as right-handed PH and never see time out in the field. Except Piazza is loved and will actually get a hit on
