Mike Piazza, despite being only the Los Angeles Dodgers' 62nd-round draft choice in the 1988 Amateur Draft, went on to bash 399 home runs as a catcher, the most in baseball history. Offered is a 1996 MLB All-Star Game full ticket signed and inscribed by Hall of Famer Piazza, the MVP of the All-Star Game, played at Philadelphia's Veterans Stadium. Piazza played 16 Major League seasons: Los Angeles Dodgers (1992-98), Florida Marlins (1998), New York Mets (1998-2005), San Diego Padres (2006), Oakland Athletics (2007). He batted a career .308 with 427 overall home runs, with most of his non-catching home runs hit as a first baseman. The 12-time All-Star was a 10-time Silver Slugger. In the '96 All-Star Game, Piazza started as a catcher for the National League, batting fifth. Piazza hit a bases-loaded home run off Cleveland's Charles Nagy in the bottom of the second inning and then Piazza drove in the Cincinnati Reds' Barry Larkin with a double in the fourth inning. In Piazza's final at bat of the game, he struck out against the Texas Rangers' Roger Pavlik. The National League won the All-Star Game 6-0, with the Atlanta Braves' John Smoltz, the NL starter, besting Nagy. The offered full ticket measures 3x7.3". The ticket has an image of the Liberty Bell, and it is for a $50.00 reserved seat. Piazza signed the ticket in fine-tip blue marker, and the catcher added "96 MVP." The offering has been encapsulated and PSA/DNA Certified as "AUTHENTIC AUTO." The full ticket is in EXCELLENT condition.
