Piazza31 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Yeah, I'm surprised hes so supportive. It looks like he's positioning himself to buy parts of a team, be it the Mets or his hometown Marlins. I would only assume so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would only assume so. I think that would be awesome (only if its the Marlins of course :lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyggyMarlin Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Maybe Piazza can be the Marlins version of Tony Bosselli -- go out there, hit the pavement and bring people to the seats... and if there was a place for Piazza in the Front Office, I'm all for bringing him on board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piazza31 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Maybe he just wants to watch baseball in his town in a proper stadium. Back in 1998, Piazza's Dad, Tony Piazza I believe, wanted to buy parts of the Marlins along with a group-but was turned down for some reason (I think it was the fact Mike Piazza was a Dodgers and it conflicted, or the fact that he withdrew after Piazza was traded). Mike has been here since his college days at UM and MDCC-hopefully he can buy into or be a part of the front office in some role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heat84 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Piazza played at UM? Really? I had no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbethan Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Piazza played at UM? Really? I had no idea. And Miami-Dade Community College, former home of Steve Carlton, Bucky Dent, Placido Polanco, Raul Ibanez, Alex Fernandez, and Andres Torres.

FloridaMarlinsForever Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Is Piazza a Marlins Fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piazza31 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Is Piazza a Marlins Fan? From what I've seen, yes and no. He always wants them to do well, but I think he's a Mets fan now. I believe he hasn't stepped foot in dodger stadium since the trade other to play a game. I've never seen a bad thing he's said about the marlins. Think anyone can help me find pictures of Piazza in college at UM or MDC? I'd love to get a authentic jersey made to go with my growing Piazza collection.

I'm sure you have an insane collection of stuff. Nah, just jerseys I've aquired recently, a baseball autographed, 13 of his rookies, 50 of his cards as a marlin and about 2000 of other baseball cards. Actually this is my stuff as of a few month ago-- since then I've gained 10 marlins cards and 6 piazza jerseys. Both Dodgers (1997 JR PATCH), 3 more mets (9-11, WS, Regular), 1 home marlins and 2 padres jerseys (need to get the names added though). One of those bobble heads is a Marlins one, from 1998.) http://metspolice.com/2011/02/02/is-chris-the-king-of-piazza/ (YES, I sleep with the Marlins pillow everyday. Theres actually 2 of them.)

Admin Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Wait, there was a Marlins Piazza bobblehead? Or am I misunderstanding you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piazza31 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Wait, there was a Marlins Piazza bobblehead? Or am I misunderstanding you? No you understood fine. It's a Headliner XXL Bobblehead like toy from 1998. They made a Dodgers, he got traded and they made a Marlins, and he was traded again and they made a Mets.

fanofthefish Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Is Piazza a Marlins Fan? Based on the way he stood in awe when the Marlins were stealing bases on him I would have to say yes :thumbup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He attended UM and was on the baseball team from what I've read, but never played and transfered to MDCC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanton Deliver Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I would assume that he would attempt to purchase a part of the Mets. I think the new law that New York just passed might be enticing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I would assume that he would attempt to purchase a part of the Mets. Not anytime soon. Wilpon sold 33% to David Einhorn for $200 million. Einhorn has the right to buy another 27% three years from now for $1 if the Mutts can't buy him back out for $200 million, which ain't gonna happen. The Wilpon group is done, they face up to a billion in liability in the Madoff trustee's suits. Never mind that the Mutts are losing about $70 million this year according to Wilpon. And never mind that parts of the Wilpon commercial real estate holdings are sucking foreclosure canal water. The Mutts, having about $500 million in debt are problematic. That and the Madoff problem is why Wilpon took the Einhorn deal to raise cash. It's called desperation. A new post-Wilpon version of the Mutts will emerge, a la the Rangers under Nolan Ryan. Only then would small fish like Piazza possibly be interested in any ownership stake. Which doesn't mean any new owner would sell him any.
