You were probably thinking to yourself, “Man, I am so psyched that Mike Piazza made the Hall of Fame. I wonder what Jeff Wilpon thinks!”
Well good news..
STATEMENT FROM METS COO JEFF WILPON
“We are really thrilled that Mike Piazza has taken his rightful place among the other greats in Cooperstown. Mike’s offensive prowess, ability to deliver in the clutch, and tireless work ethic helped him become one of the great catchers of all-time. On behalf of Mets Ownership, front office staff and our fans, we congratulate Mike, his wife Alicia, his parents, Vince and Veronica, and the entire Piazza family.”
Because I am me I am going to wonder why he is congratulating Mike on my behalf. I can congratulate on my own. And while he is congratulating on people’s behalves (is that even a real word?) why isn’t he congratulating Mike Piazza on the behalf of Matt Harvey. Does Matt Harvey not care about Mike Piazza? Why does Jeff speak for the fans but not the players.
Moving on….someone you do actually care about is Tom Seaver.
STATEMENT FROM TOM SEAVER
“Without a doubt Mike Piazza was one of the top hitting catchers in the history of the game. For Mike to compile the stats he did while catching is amazing. His election to Cooperstown is most deserving.”
And there you have it.
