Ex Met Watch: No More Mike?
Posted on February 26th, 2008 by Dan Lerner
Internet rumors indicate that the legendary Mike Piazza will retire if not signed by spring trainings end. Mike has struggled with injuries his last few seasons, missing a good half of last year and falling to third in the catching depth chart out in Oakland.
While its a shame to see Mike bid baseball farewell, its better to see him go out now than play on poorly overseas. Plus it starts the clock on him entering the Hall, presumble in a Mets hat. The first player to do so since Seaver, which could also finally prompt the Mets to retire his number. That in turn could maybe even push them into giving Keith the honor out in the outfield Citi wall as well.
