After 16 years of alleged homosexuality baseball, Mike Piazza is retiring.
"After discussing my options with my wife, family and agent, I felt it is time to start a new chapter in my life," he said in a statement released Tuesday by his agent, Dan Lozano. "It has been an amazing journey … So today, I walk away with no regrets.
His 396 homers are easily the most as a catcher, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
How can you be walking away when nobody signed you this year? How is sitting on your living room sofa for six weeks not a regret? Your ass was holding out hope for six weeks that someone would pick you up. Then you went all, "They didn't break up with me! I broke up with THEM!" And off to your room you ran, weeping like a little bitch. But then Uncle Chester came over–though he's not your real uncle–and made everything all better. I love you, son. Even if you do like boys.

Piazza is moving on to another of his passions…cheering on the San Antonio Spurs.
Piazza was a great player for the Mets (unless you needed someone thrown out) – but he had class, he had character, he had bleached blond hair. See ya in the Hall.
I have a buddy who roomed with him in the minors in Vero Beach. He says that Piazza was all about the pussy (read: denied all of his advances).
I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that I, too, am retiring from baseball.
Is Mr. Met wearing his cap sideways in that picture?
I wish all baseball players were allowed to bat shirtless. Jose Lima would approve.
Good riddance to the best DH posing as a position player in the history of baseball.

coincidence?
That Uncle Chester bit made me cringe.
Good job.
He was worn out after 16 years of catching? Damn thing must be like an airplane hangar.
Seriously though…one of my favorite players ever, and not just because he made me harder than 3rd grade to a Raiders fan. Shit, I should erase that last par
