Mike Piazza Watched Porn In Dodgers Clubhouse, Got Punched By Home Improvement's Debbe Dunning, Would Have Been "Gay All The Way"
By Ty Duffy
Mike Piazza has a memoir coming out entitled “Long Shot.” Some of the excerpts revealed to the New York Post are rather Mike Piazza-ey. Here are a few gems that don’t involve PEDs (because, really, who cares?).
Piazza was more upset about people thinking he was dishonest about his sexuality, rather than people thinking he was gay.
"“I found it hugely insulting that people believed I’d go so far out of my way — living with Playmates, vacationing with actresses, showing up at nightclubs — to act out a lifestyle that would amount to a charade,” he writes. “If I was gay, I’d be gay all the way.”"
Home Improvement star Debbe Dunning punched him when he broke up with her.
"“There was screaming and crying and then the Tool Time girl waffled my ass,” he recalled. “I hadn’t taken a punch like that in a long time.”"
He also watched some porn as a teenager in the Dodgers’ clubhouse.
"“Most of the team was watching a porno film. There was one little TV in the training room, and they were all crowded around it,” he recalls. “I have to admit that coming from the straight-laced, deeply Catholic background that I did, it was a little unsettling."
Instead of a “must read,” this may be a “must click” if someone else finds a few gems the author left hidden.
