An interview with Mike Piazza

July 12th, 2007

Beliefnet has published an interview with Mike Piazza entitled “All-Star Christian: Baseball slugger Mike Piazza on praying for home runs, forgiving opponents, and passing judgment on Barry Bonds.”

Piazza, a Roman Catholic, opens with this statement:

I truly believe my whole professional career has been a blessing from God. And it’s been a great gift. I know I worked hard, and you have to apply yourself, but I still feel that you have to have a lot of blessings from above. And anybody who plays this game, you have to be very spiritual, because it’s very frustrating at times.

It’s an interesting interview, and not something I expected to read from Piazza.

    It was indeed an interesting interview (’the Holy Mother’ was especially interesting)

    Didn’t he marry a playboy playmate? I hope she has turned her life around.


  2. That’s pretty surprising - I’ve always heard he’s a pretty big jerk. I guess there’s hope left for people afterall.
