I looked him up. He lives in Italy and coaches an Italian National Baseball Team.

Sounds Un-American to me. 😁

America: Love it or leave it.

Looks like Piazza doesn’t love America.

Actually, I heard that he likes pizza so much that he’s going into the business. He’s already got a location right in the middle of a small northern Italian town and plans to call the place Mike Piazza’s Pizza on the Piazza.

[my bold] You _almost_ hit it out of the park like Mike, but did you miss out part of the punchline?

**Mike Piazza’s Pizza on the Pienza Piazza**

In northern Italy, shouldn’t that be Pazzo Pizza di Mike Piazza nella Piazza Pienza?

I’m Jew-ish Brazilian. No, wait! I’m American. Hold on! I’m a lizard person.

(I really am half-Jewish, and also half-German, not Brazilian at all, for what it’s worth. Practically nothing)

@Riemann, so anyway, who are you calling a liar?
