Piazza, New York Catcher

about this song

Used in the movie Juno (2007). The song is about New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza, who was rumored to be gay throughout his playing career. In 2002, he held a press conference to declare his heterosexuality. Piazza later wrote his autobiography, "If I was gay, I’d be gay all the way." Stuart Murdoch became a Mets fan in the late 90s. He said: "I was almost instantly drawn to Piazza. That’s the thing about him; he was a talisman wherever he went. He was the kind of player people tended to follow, and we thought he was a good guy."
