Hall of Famer Mike Piazza explains why exactly he bought an Italian soccer team

Some soccer fans live out their dreams by playing Football Manager for 47 hours straight or putting more energy into their FIFA 16 careers than, you know, their actual careers. Other fans are Mike Piazza, who chose to live out his dream by actually owning a club. The new Hall of Famer became a majority owner of third-tier Italian team A.C. Reggiana 1919 in June, and you can hear more about why he chose that particular team in the video above.
You can also, if you so choose, speculate about him one day owning Manchester United. He says he's not buying the team "next week or next year," but that doesn't rule out next month.
