Mets HOFer Mike Piazza honored in NYC by NIAF

By Michelle Ioannou and Danny Abriano

It may have been a drizzly night, but it was all smiles at The National Italian American Foundation‘s gala.

The event honored the Mets’ newest Hall of Famer, and Italian American, Mike Piazza. Fellow Italians in attendance included St. John’s Coach Chris Mullin, former MLB third baseman Bob Aspromonte, and former MLB Managers Ken Aspromonte and Bobby Valentine. Yes, we witnessed a Piazza – Valentine reunion, and it was as glorious as you could imagine it was.
