Piazza, former catcher, rehearsing for ballet role

MIAMI BEACH, Florida (AP) -- Mike Piazza knows that some people think it's funny for a baseball player to take up ballet, but the former catcher hopes to turn whoever is jeering him now into dance fans when he takes the stage with Miami City Ballet next month.
''You gotta sometimes have the courage to go out there and do something like this, and I think the overall effect will be positive,'' Piazza said Tuesday after his costume fitting for the role of a gangster in ''Slaughter on Tenth Avenue.''
Piazza will walk on stage and say a few lines in the company's May 3 production of the ballet George Balanchine choreographed as part of the 1930s musical ''On Your Toes.''
''If I have to take a few good-natured insults, you know, I've taken a lot of abuse before so, no question, I've got big shoulders,'' he said. ''The bottom line is to draw attention to the show, to the arts, the art of ballet and dancing in general. It's something I'm very excited about.''

Just come out, Mike, we all knew it.

I think his daughter wants him to do it, so that is pretty cool.

Just confirming what we all knew.

I wonder if there's a limit to what Piazza, former catcher, would do if his daughter really wanted him to.

Maybe Mr. Belding can get him in Swan Lake next.

surprised a former MLB catcher would even have the knees to do ballet.

If he has a daughter doesn't that make him straight?

If he was a real man he would have went at Clemens. Sissy.
