Mike Piazza's 1st at bat at Shea as a Padre

[osheavue]

He was a Dodger 1st and play his best days in that uniform.

[Sasfoot]

Even as a player on an opposing team, he still got the standing O. G-d how much we loved and miss Piazza.

[ginzzz180]

I was @ that game

[Vrfan88]

I love how they played his music...that never happens for away players

[boroandfriends]

first ballot hall of famer and my favorite met of all time

[TheLittlewing22]

Classy

[OcTorthed]

only opposing player to get a curtain call, this man was and is my idol

[06222426]

LOOK UP PERRINE BASEBALL ADRIEN#24 HOMERS

[MrNYJETSFAN93]

[tristen539]

[TMoNeY187x]

mike pizza

[j0hnnyTwoTimes]

haha they were rocking Hendrix!

[jets495]

I was there the next day when he hit two homers...by far my favorite player to ever play for the mets

[MSTPIA]

I went to a mets vs padres game and piazza hit 2 homeruns

[freckles1329]

@MSTPIA That was the next game. I was there for that, as well.

[1RonBurgundy1]

@MSTPIA I was at that game too, he would have hit a third home run most likely but the wind blew it back in, it was caught at the warning track, sucks can you imagine if he hit 3?

[GTboy96]

I remember this game

[seasonofpain]

one of the best mets to ever play the game

[DirtyCurtDCN8]

Got chills seeing this... I am a diehard Mets fan and the great moments Mike Piazza gave myself and all Mets fan will always be remembered. He is my favorite player of all-time, and even though he wasn't great defensively, he would bust his ass out there and made those Mets teams of 10 years ago great teams, despite not having a ton of talent. Go mets!

[unknownkingdom]

He's not gay

[jmb048nym]

He hit 2 homers of Pedro the next night, not the first game back. (If memory serves me right, I think that's Trachsel out there in this one.)

[metssteelersfan]

Voodoo Child (Slight Return)

[TheTrueBlue91]

whats the name of the song he comes out too?

[Timmay825]

It was the following night when he went yard twice.

[Obcballa13]

If I remember he was all the offense the Padres had that game. I think he scored all their runs.

[ironaxe89]

Mike's home is Dodger Stadium!

[captpan6]

It's Shea AND Dodger Stadium

[playerhater11235]

I was at this game. Pretty close to where this video was shot from too...

[jumpers3]

For many years and as a Met he was a force of nature.I miss those Mets days

[playerhater11235]

Same here jumpers. Was a lot of fun watching Mike back then...

[jumpers3]

I wasn't but tears on my computer

[MrJaypr1]

Was there tears came down my eyes.

[pacmanghostx]

I remember watching this...

I went crazy when they started playing Voodoo Child for Piazza... What a great homecoming for Mikey.

[ny4and26]

good job mike way to strike out. jk mike was one of the best ive ever seen behind the plate

[stimeyjones35]

This gives me the chills every time I see this

[jericho360]

What if he hit a homerun, would they have raised the apple?

[freckles1329]

He hit 2 home runs the next day. They didn't raise the apple lol

[hoonaynay]

@freckles1329 that was an epic game. what was funny was that after his second homer, he started getting booed

[MalnourishedGoat]

@freckles1329 Yeah, but it was a sight to see! How often does a player on the opposing team get a curtain call for hitting a homer off the home team? I was there for both games as well. Piazza was solid clutch and a class act.

[MalnourishedGoat]

@freckles1329 He got a curtain call for the first one though! And a mixed reaction for the second because the game was on the line. I was there for both too. Magical moments at Shea. (And I was a little surprised that the Mets played plate music for Mike! Raising the apple would never happen though, haha)

[devonedwards013]

@freckles1329 But he did get a curtain call!

[nabity42]

my father, who is a yankee fan, took me to this game, and he even he was chanting and clapping for mike.

retire #31!

[OneHunnedPercent]

I was at the rubber match of this series... Piazza gave us some good years in Queens man..

[scottrolen27mvp]

[IdidURmom2]

[SimonHova]

Thats great, I didn't realize that the standing ovation lasted almost a minute. I especially liked one heckler, "okay, thats enough- now strike out."
