NEW YORK -- Mike Piazza will don a New York Mets cap on his Hall of Fame plaque.

Piazza made it official Thursday at the New York Athletic Club in Manhattan. He will join Tom Seaver as the only two players in the Hall of Fame with Mets caps on their plaques.

"I enjoyed coming up with the Dodgers and had an amazing career there as far as getting to know Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale and the Hall of Famers," Piazza said. "But, fortunately for me, I eventually ended [up] in New York. Some way, shape or form, I became a New York Met, and truly have a special relationship here with the fans of the Mets. ... It's tough. For me, as much as I enjoyed my time there [in Los Angeles], I ended up in New York. And I feel like the fans here truly brought me into their family. Every time I've come back, I've been so incredibly honored from the response. Unfortunately, we do have to choose one. And, for me, I always sort of enjoyed reconnecting here in New York."

Mets owner Jeff Wilpon, general manager Sandy Alderson and deputy John Ricco attended the announcement.
