Even though I know people who think Mike Lieberthal was a better catcher than Piazza was, Piazza will always be #1 in my book. Aside from Keith Hernandez, he is my favorite Met of all time. The guy could hit bombs to all parts of the park. Here's hoping he goes into the Hall of Fame with a Mets cap on!!
As Mike says: "But I have to say that my time with the Mets wouldn't have been the same without the greatest fans in the world. One of the hardest moments of my career, was walking off the field at Shea Stadium and saying goodbye. My relationship with you made my time in New York the happiest of my career and for that, I will always be grateful."
