Mike Piazza, bruised ego and all, was absolutely livid after Wednesday's game when a fan nailed him in the back of the head with a half-filled water bottle at Angel Stadium.
The veteran backstop ranted, "I'm pressing charges. He's going to spend the night in jail. He hit me right in the helmet! ... I turned around and was like, 'Was it you? Or you or you?' Everyone pointed at the guy and I said, 'You're gutless,' and he started walking out. There he goes, the bravest guy in the world. That's a complete lower level of stupidity."However, Piazza's calling out of the fan backfired, as the young man with the alleged dead-eye is getting calls from clubs all around the majors who are looking to beef up their starting rotation and/or bullpen.

Nice spin, ladies.
Love it. I heard the Yanks are looking for a 5th starter and they don't really trust Phil Hughes and Tyler Clippard.

And heck, if you're going to bean a guy on the head, use a quarter or a... oh wait... my inner hooligan appears to be out of the box again.
