Mets: Mike Piazza happy where 9/11 jersey is headed
Mike Piazza wore the iconic jersey at Shea Stadium on September 21,2001 — the first game in New York City after the terrorist attacks of September 11. It was a night that Mets fans would never forget, and a night that has been a focus of media attention lately, and not for the right reasons
We attempted to explain the debacle behind the sale of Piazza’s 9/11 jersey a few weeks back, and during the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) gala on Thursday night, we finally got a chance to speak with the man himself about it.
The jersey, which found its way to a private collector years ago before going up for auction earlier this month, led to a brief rift between Piazza and the Mets.
