It will be a sad Wednesday morning around NYC as men (and perhaps some women) come to grips with the knowledge that Mike Piazza is no longer a free agent.
The New York Post’s Paula Froelich reports :
Mike Piazza is getting hitched.
The Mets catcher is walking down the aisle with his longtime girl friend, “Baywatch” babe and former Playmate Alicia Rickter, in Miami during the last weekend in January, sources said yesterday.
“It is going to be a very small wedding, just family and close friends,” said a pal.
The wedding will most likely take place on Sunday, Jan. 30, but Rickter and Piazza will have their bachelorette and bachelor parties a night or two before.
“Alicia and her friends are going to a club in South Beach while Mike is going to a dinner with a bunch of close friends where he will be roasted mercilessly,” the couple’s pal said.
No!
I just lost fifty bucks.
I hope for the sake of all my Mets pals that your boy here doesn’t emulate Johnny Damon and flounce down the aisle to the sound of a hideous country ballad.
I wonder how long it will be before Alicia Rickter realizes that she’s been played like Liza Minnelli?
Knowing Mike, Dream Theatre or perhaps vintage G’n’R would be more likely.
From the same article, just in case you didn’t get it: “The two are self-described homebodies — and metalheads, who love hard rock”
Did the sub-editors at the Post commit a transcription error when they took down the reporter’s line about loving “Hard rock“? Surely the wrong letter was used somewhere in there.
I know where you are headed with this WW, and let me assure you that Metal Mike’s hard rock loving credentials are solid. If Piazza were to leave Manhattan, it would wipe out most of King’s X, Dream Theatre or Savatage’s New York sales (Long Island excepted).
I’m sure he loves hard rock as much as Rob Halford from Judas Priest
dude, he loves hard rock as much as Rob Halford of FIGHT. But seriously, if you’ve got a bone(r) to pick with Mike, please take the nasty remarks elsewhere because I’m about to start crying.
I just can’t forgive him for that shampoo commercial
