Yes yes, how could I forget, he had a career outside of New York as well. Thanks for the reminder!

I'm pretty sure New York and San Diego was it for him, nothing else comes to mind. Should have been 2 former Padres entering the HOF with Hoffman too, but he'll get in sooner or later.

It was a joke he didn't get in before this.

Yesterday showed both ends of the baseball spectrum. Griffey Jr is the first #1 overall pick to make it to the Hall of Fame and Piazza was drafted later in the draft than any Hall of Famer.

His numbers are skewed. He didn't have to face white pitchers

Why would he not be serious, man? Piazza is to the Mets like A-rod is to the Yankees

Over Seaver? Over Carter? Over Strawberry? Over Gooden? Over Wright? Over Hernandez?

Maybe he is beloved. I am just shocked to hear him listed as the GOAT.
