GREAT METS QUOTES: MIKE PIAZZA

There have been very few Mets players born over the last several days and if they played for the Mets, it was only for a brief time (Happy Birthday today to Tsuyoshi Shingo). But because of www.baseballquotations.com we have hundreds of Mets quotes to keep us going.

Also, if you want to get quotes of famous players born on this days, you can go to www.baseballbirthdayquote.blogspot.com/

One of the all-time classic Mets moments came after 9/11 when Mike Piazza hit the monumental home run to win the first game back after the tragic events. It was especially momentous given that it took place in New York.

Here is Mike Piazza's classic quote after his home run

"It told the rest of the country and the rest of the world what New York is all about. It's a tough city and it's a hard city. This is something we'll never forget. It'll scar us but we will move on"
