Mike Piazza might be remembered for the 12 All Star Games, 400+ HR's, ROY award, .300+ BA, or as the coolest guy to play pro ball. Famous for he clutch hits, and certainly as the greatest hitting catcher of all time. However, I think Mike Piazza will go down as one of baseball's greatest treasures.
He had met Pope John Paul II years ago and the pontiff said in that low but distinct voice, "God Bless You Mike Piazza, baseball great."
