Since a book was published citing information from a private conversation Mike Piazza had with a couple reporters in which he admitted using PEDs, the formers Dodgers and Mets' catcher has declined several requests for comment. Piazza made a public appearance at the opening of Citi Field on Monday evening by catching the ceremonial first pitch from Tom Seaver. ?He wasn?t looking for any attention,? Jay Horwitz, the Mets? vice president for media relations, said when asked why Piazza did not want to talk. ?He said, ?I?m a private person now, I have a family, I?m raising my kids, my wife?s having a baby and I want to stay in the background.? ? Piazza made his exit through the back of the stadium.
