Anybody up for the ballet? Because Mike Piazza is:
Former Major League Baseball catcher Mike Piazza will be taking center stage with the Miami City Ballet. The Miami Beach-based dance company has tapped Piazza to play the role of a gangster in the May 3 production of "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue." Piazza won't be dancing in tights. He'll wear a 1920s-era gangster costume, say a few lines and then watch the rest of the performance from a seat onstage. Piazza says his turn with the troupe is his gift to his 6-year-old daughter, a student at Miami City Ballet School. The ballet features gangsters, strippers and an attempted murder plot.".
This should pack the house, or at the very least attract more people than Marlins Stadium will. I'll especially like the part when Gangster Piazza murders the character played by Guillermo Mota for failing to pay back a loan. He'll do it through interpretive dance.
