It’s well established usage:
Just in the spirit of knowledge:
Mike Piazza was a major league baseball player, primarily a catcher, who played from 1992 until 2007; he primarily played with the Dodgers, and then the Mets. He was a star player, and is now in the Hall of Fame. In the first MLB game played in New York after a week-long pause in the MLB schedule due to the 9/11 attack, Piazza (who was then with the Mets) hit a game-winning home run.
It appears that the poster in question has a deep and abiding love for Mr. Piazza, and feels that the post-9/11 home run was an epochal event which unified all people.
So it’s sort of the sports version of the music of Wyld Stallyns?
I would call that analogy most excellent, triumphant, and totally non-bogus!
Still better than Deepak Chopra.
Just for the record, the British equivalent of that is coming a distant last in the Eurovision Song Contest.

How dare you, sir!
How dare neglect to mention Mike Piazza’s epic seven-day, five game stint with the Florida Marlins!
It was so epic that 14 years later, they had to change the franchise name to the Miami Marlins.
I think homograph makes more sense for that meaning.
Wait until they hear who proposed and passed the 16th Amendment in the first place! Hahaha!

Yeah, well… It was fine until the Democrats broke it!
This is the weirdest fucking thread.
Not what you expected?
Don’t attribute quotes to me that I didn’t say.
I didn’t say the Republicans are proposing a tax policy that would favor the wealthy because they’re evil people. I’m saying the Republicans are proposing a tax policy that would favor the wealthy because every tax proposal they have made in the last forty years has favored the wealthy.
Both of you, take it to another thread.
Don’t drag this crap in here.
Not marked as a mod note, so just a request/suggestion from a citizen, so to speak?
Correct, I was being a grumpy poster, not a Mod.
But I hate when posters drag their petty squabbles into this thread. Pet Peeve.
… well, @What_Exit, at least you decided against that math quiz. You’re all right!
