Now that it's the day after Mike Piazza's Hall of Fame Induction I thought I would share a pic of Mike Piazza's true rookie card. Featured is a 1989 Salem Dodgers Piazza card from my collection. This is his first professional Baseball card.
As you surely know, Piazza was drafted by the Dodgers in 1988, and played his first season of professional ball with the short-season low Class-A Salem Dodgers in 1989. That year he slashed .268/.318/.444/.762 and hit just eight home runs. So, he was still far from being the power hitting catcher we all know today.
