Vince Piazza was married to his wife, Veronica Piazza. The couple was good parents to their children, and the success of their children showed it.
He was well aware that his son was not receiving the respect he deserved. “It was me who provided Michael the tools, but it was Michael who used them,” Vince stated in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.
When Mike joined the Dodgers in 1992 and subsequently won the Most Valuable Player title for the 1996 All-Star game, Vince realized Mike’s hard work had paid off.
In an interview with Sporting News, Vince said “I hoped to God to make my kid a major-league baseball player, but who could have imagined this? Only two professional baseball players have ever come out of Norristown, Pennsylvania.
The manager is one of them. My son is the other. And they’re both members of the same baseball team.”
