Mike Piazza Hall of Fame call bittersweet from Dodgers standpoint

The 2016 Hall of Fame induction ceremony starts Sunday at 10:30 a.m. PT on MLB Network.

Former Dodgers catcher Mike Piazza will get inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday morning in Cooperstown. But while this should be a joyous moment for the franchise, years of acrimony following a tumultuous exit makes this weekend a bittersweet one for Los Angeles.

This is the second straight year an all-time great who was a rookie with the 1993 Dodgers will be enshrined in Cooperstown. Pedro Martinez, inducted in 2015, only pitched one season in Los Angeles and was traded before he reached his age-22 season.
