About Piazza's relationship with the Dodgers
"For six years, I have had the privilege to play for fans, and with teammates, who showed me a tremendous amount of appreciation, and for that I will always be grateful. The business of baseball is complicated, and I try to keep the game simple. As long as I play, I'll swing hard and play hard, and be grateful to have the chance to play this great game, no matter where I'm playing." -Piazza
"My ties with the Dodgers were (more) with the fan base than
with the organization."
"They said, 'Take it or leave it or we're going public.
We're telling everyone what you turned down,' I don't know what it
was, whether they didn't like me or what." -Mike, on what the
Dodgers demanded.
"[The] conversations were never very amicable. It was confrontational, stormy."
"I have closed the door on the past. My goal is to finish as a Met." -Mike
