The fact that Mike Piazza is a metalhead really fits with this beef. I believe it's quite metal to shake out your mullet and be like, "The Dodgers drafted me when no one else would, but f-you corporate ownership, I don't owe you a debt of gratitude."
Now it might be slightly less metal to then say, "so make me the highest paid player in baseball or I'm gonna be distracted on the field, $81 million is not enough for me I have expensive taste."
Oh, and it doesn't seem very metal to be like, "my dad's friend got me the job." (Tommy Lasorda grew up with Piazza's dad).
It also doesn't feel particularly metal to go after a beloved old guy (in this case, Piazza cast aspersions upon Vin Scully). That feels more Insane Clown Posse to me? But look, I'm not a music expert. You be the judge!
love,
