The fat coward, bat tossing mother- f**ker threw the bat shard at Mike Piazza.

What do you remember about the incident and that game?

Travesty that they let him stay in the game. An all time gaffe by the umpiring crew.

Piazza busted it down the line there.

He really should have been evicted. His later excuse, that he thought the bat shard was a baseball, was ridiculous. An experienced major league pitcher is likely to know what a baseball feels like in his hand, and they weren't playing kickball. If he thought it was the ball, he should have thrown it to first base.



I remember hoping that on the next pitch, Piazza would hit a line drive off Clemens' chin.
