the almost daily dodger - mike piazza

the last one of these posts featured eric karros, so it only makes sense to follow up with mike piazza. piazza followed in karros' footsteps, winning the national league rookie of the year award in 1993 after karros took home the hardware in 1992.

this is piazza's 1996 panini sticker
his 1996 topps classic confrontations insert
his 1997 upper deck memorable moments die-cut insert
and his 1996 fleer update soaring star insert
things are looking up!

all of these cards were languishing in my scanned folder, which was the impetus for this "almost daily dodger" series. piazza remains the player in third place in my tcdb collection, behind steve garvey and clayton kershaw with 722 cards in the collection (710 unique). that's just outside the top 20 of all collectors on the site. looks like i have some work to do, and there seems to be no end to the piazza dodger cards from the 90's.

  1. I really like the look of Piazza's 1996 Panini Sticker. Always enjoyed cards/stickers featuring catchers tossing off their mask and looking towards the sky.
