No.5 Mike Piazza, C

No. 5: Mike Piazza, C


Tenure: 1992-98

Stats: 177 HR, 563 RBI, .331 average

Achievements: 1993 NL Rookie of the Year, 6-time All Star

Longevity is important to this list, but not the only criteria. And since Piazza was far and away the biggest star and best player of the 1990s Dodgers, he is a no-brainer for this list.

But because he may well be the greatest hitting catcher of all time, he soared up this list.

It may have only been for five years, but what Piazza did from 1993-97 was truly historic: 33 homers, 105 RBI, .336 average per season.

Maybe he was a bigger, more dominant star in Queens for the Mets. Maybe not. But the Dodgers had him first.
