Piazza’s induction to hold special place with Mets fans
- Updated: July 22, 2016
NEW YORK — It has been 24 years since Tom Seaver entered the Hall of Fame, the first player in franchise history to have his Mets cap bronzed. Other prominent Mets have entered the Hall with different caps, including Gary Carter, Nolan Ryan and Willie Mays. But in the years since Seaver, the Mets have never come particularly close to adding another Hall of Famer they could truly call their own.
Now Mike Piazza is set to enter the Hall on Sunday, with coverage beginning on MLB Network and MLB.com at 11 a.m. ET, and the Hall of Fame induction ceremony starting live at 1:30. He has spoken often about the tug he felt as an adopted New Yorker, which made a Mets cap on his plaque the obvious choice to a complicated decision.
Given all that, legions of Piazza’s fans will descend upon Cooperstown this weekend to watch his induction happen, as they should: It could be a while before another Met enters the Hall.
