Write Mike Piazza's HOF plaque

Benjamin Grimm Jan 10 2016 01:07 PM

Here's mine: 62ND ROUND DRAFT PICK BECAME 1993 N.L. ROOKIE OF YEAR AND 12-TIME ALL-STAR. HIT RECORD 396 HOME RUNS AS A CATCHER, 427 OVERALL. LED METS TO 2000 N.L. CHAMPIONSHIP. POST-TERROR HOME RUN ON 9/21/2001 WAS CATHARTIC FOR NEW YORK CITY AND NATION. NOT GAY, JUST "METROSEXUAL"

Kinda hard to improve on that, unless we can work in a BACNE blurb.

Made Roger Clemens his bitch. Did some other cool stuff too.

Many months later, I caught two errors in this.

Always a gentleman, available to the press every night with patient, thoughtful answers. Possibly the most mobbed up player since Pepitone.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 22 2016 01:04 PM Re: Write Mike Piazza's HOF plaque

Article in the Daily News this morning reveals that Piazza's plaque will have 83 words. My first draft, which opened this thread, had 46, so I came in under by 37 words. Vic Sage's revision had 130 words, which was high by 47. The actual text, as far as I know, had not yet been revealed.

d'Kong76 Jul 22 2016 01:13 PM Re: Write Mike Piazza's HOF plaque

The real question is which one of you got the most words right!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 23 2016 03:59 PM Re: Write Mike Piazza's HOF plaque

HIS POST 9/11 HOME RUN HEALED; HIS BACK ACNE SCARS DID NOT. HE NEVER GOT ANTHRAX, BUT HE, LIKE, TOTALLY GOT ANTHRAX. I mean, I'll check later to be certain, but I'm pretty sure I nailed it.
