Mike Piazza, who pinch-hit in the ninth and struck out, broke away from the Mets' pregame stretch when he saw conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh in the front row of the stands.

Ahhhh, New Jersey. A place where being a fan of Limbaugh results in a fine. Don't it make your red states blue....

Actually, although Piazza was initially targeted when that rumor went around, the Met in question was more likely Roberto Alomar.
Methinks Piazza needs to lose the 70s Porn Star moustache.

Were Al Leiter still on the Mets, I'm sure he'd have loved to meet Rush too. Al is a Republican who has spoken about running for office when he retires.

Very impressive with Piazza. I will try a live re-enactment at lunch with PIZZA.

Limbaugh is an American icon. What's even better is that he's still on the job.
