Piazza talking now. My favorite player of all time coming up soon.

a few thoughts...
I wonder if Griffey Jr. ever regretted making the move from Seattle to Cincinnati. With the Mariners he was the carefree happy kid. Once he got to the Reds, he kind of became a surly grumpy guy.
from a home run hitting standpoint, he may have had the friendliest ballparks of all-time for a slugger (that played on multiple teams): Kingdome, Riverfront, Great American. Home run hitting paradises all.
regarding Piazza...there were many great steroid discussions on this board 5 to 10 to 15 years ago. We knew back then that there would be 10 or so position players from the 'roid era that would escape (so to speak) with their reputations relatively intact and make the Hall of Fame.
Piazza was one of them along with Griffey Jr. Biggio, and Frank Thomas
