Ep. 22 | The Catcher & the Catholic Faith - Mike Piazza

The year was 1984 when a sixteen-year-old Mike Piazza had a visitor come to watch him hit baseballs in the batting cage his father crafted at their Phoenixville, PA home. The keen-eyed and deeply impressed visitor was none other than Ted Williams, the greatest baseball hitter of all time. Join me and Hall of Fame catcher Mike Piazza as we explore his life in baseball and his Catholic faith.

I remember watching him with the Dodgers on my local TV station in the 90s. Never thought of listening to him talking those amazing anecdotes on Catholic podcast. What a nice surprise and nurturing talk.

My favorite ball player of all time! I have many fond memories of watching Met games in Shea stadium in the 90s and 00s as a kid cheering on Mike.

My name is Piazza and people are always asking me if I'm related to the baseball player. I doubt if anyone has ever asked him, are you related to Sara? Who knows, maybe we are related. My father had 63 first cousins. Nice to hear the name pronounced correctly.

Hopefully he finds a prevatican 2 church and priest.
