Grif is the miracle guy; the player who could do it all, and do it very well from the gitgo. And always with a great smile and humor.
Piazza, in a sense, is the Tom Brady of baseball. He wasn't drafted very high, could do some things very well, but had to do some improvement work on various parts of his game. As his careered progressed, he became the foundation of his teams, notably the NY Mets. His career, like Brady's, was not without criticism, but at the end, he had accumulated winning stats in almost all categories of play.
Other baseball news; Ichiro Suzuki is near the 3,000-hits mark. Now playing for Miami, he's 42 years old, and says he want to play to 50. He can do it. A phenomenal athlete; I watched him play for years in Seattle. He was then traded to (or opted for) the Yankees. When the Yanks came to Seattle to play, he always got an ovation. The only Yankee on the field to not get booed.
Griffey also played a long time in Seattle. Although he's long gone from there, the city is having a Griffey appreciation day at Safeco Field to honor his induction. They don't consider him gone.
Follow Ups:
Piazza was the heart of the Dodgers offense for years. He was loved by the fans, and the front office took a dive when they allowed him to get away. Watching him play for the Mets was difficult. But...I got used to it. It's all about the money. If I'd been a little kid, though, it would have broken my heart. Team loyalty is a thing of the past.
Almost missed the thread. I used to have MLB and watched the induction speeches. These two were no brainer first ballot.

I'd like to see Ichiro come back to Seattle to finish his career.
