Rusty Staub and Mike Piazza leave the city muncipal building in Newton, Mass. after tying the knot. |
Mets catcher Mike Piazza married former New York Met and "Super Chef" star Rusty Staub in a city office ceremony.
With baseball superstars including former Mets pitcher Al Leiter and Detroit Tigers catcher Ivan Rodriguez in attendance, Piazza and Staub took their vows at Muncipal Office on Saturday before boarding a yacht to a lavish reception on nearby Rock Island.
Staub, 62, wore a checkered flannel and was joined by five former teammates, Craig Swan, Bill Sudakis, George Theodore, Tucker Ashford, and maid-of-honor Billy Beane.
Noted for his racy bachelor days, Piazza, 36, embarked on married life at a small ceremony, joined by about 120 people. His brother Tony was best man.
Justice of the Peace Carmine Applegate of Bedford performed the ceremony. He said Piazza was nervous "like a regular groom, but he's okay."
