On October 15, 2024 a friend of mine told me he saw a post on social media that Mike Piazza would be attending a dinner at the Italian Club In Ybor City along with the team he manages (Team Italy) On Wednesday October 16th. Mike, the 1993 National League Rookie of the Year and 2016 Hall of Fame inductee arrived at the restaurant about 10 minutes after us and was kind enough to sign the inside cover of a Beckett Baseball Card Monthly magazine for me, along with an 8x10 picture for my son! Being huge Mets fans, we were psyched to add Hall of Famer Mike Piazza into our collections!
