Mike Piazza
Sunday, 25 January, 2026

Michael Joseph Piazza is the classic American underdog who carved out his niche and legacy, seemingly out of nowhere through hard-work, grit and determination. Taken in the 62nd round with the 1,390th overall pick by the Los Angeles Dodgers, in the 1988 June MLB Amateur Draft; he wou;d go onto establish himself as arguably the greatest hitting catcher in baseball history and a Hall Of Fame career. From the sandlots of Norristown, Pennsylvania to the Pantheon Of The Immortals in Cooperstown, New York. This week we do a deep dig into the improbable baseball path laid down by the slugging backstop. #MikePiazza #VincePiazza #VeronicaPiazza #TommyLasorda #PhoenixvilleHighSchool #NorristownPennsylvania #MiamiHurricanes #BenWade #LosAngelesDodgers #FloridaMarlins #NewYorkMets #SanDiegoPadres #OaklandAthletics
