Piazza: Catcher, Slugger, Icon, Star

A franchise and fan base in perpetual search of validation finally had its ticket punched as 2016 dawned. Mike Piazza, who held records in one hand and a cityâ€™s rapt attention in the other, gained election to the Hall of Fame. Within weeks of this long-awaited announcement, the ballclub with whom he chose to cast his eternal lot, the New York Mets, made a date to retire his number.

In Piazza: Catcher, Slugger, Icon, Star, Greg W. PrinceÂ—cocreator of Faith and Fear in Flushing, Â“the blog for Mets fans who like to read,â€ and author of Amazinâ€™ Again, the story of the 2015 National League championsÂ—explores the parallel paths Piazza and the Mets set out on in the early 1990s and how their individual journeys merged into a mutual quest for transcendence. From marriage of convenience to lifetime bond to a state of baseball grace reached only once before in team history, Piazza examines how the stranger from Los Angeles became New Yorkâ€™s favorite son and why Mets fans continued to rally to Piazzaâ€™s cause years after he took his final swing for them.
