Mike Piazza will wear Mets cap, not Dodgers, in Cooperstown

The National Baseball Hall of Fame held its press conference for the 2016 inductees into Cooperstown on Thursday, and catcher Mike Piazza confirmed that he will be depicted wearing a Mets cap on his plaque.

"As much as I loved coming up with the Dodgers, and I'll always cherish my time there, I'm going in as a New York Met," Piazza said during the press conference, as seen on MLB Network.

Piazza hit .331/.394/.572 in 5½ seasons with the Dodgers, and has better rate stats in Los Angeles than in New York, but he also played in his only World Series with the Mets, and played 7½ years in New York.
