MIAMI (AP) – Mets catcher Mike Piazza married former Playboy Playmate and “Baywatch” star Alicia Rickter in a candlelight church ceremony.
With baseball superstars including former Mets pitcher Al Leiter and Detroit Tigers catcher Ivan Rodriguez in attendance, Piazza and Rickter took their vows at St. Jude’s Catholic Church on Saturday before boarding a yacht to a lavish reception on nearby Fisher Island.
Rickter, 32, wore a white satin Vera Wang gown and was joined by five bridesmaids, including maid-of-honor Angelica Bridges, a “Baywatch” co-star, and Playboy Playmates Brande Roderick and Lisa Dergan.
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.
Auxiliary Bishop Ignatius Catanello of the Diocese of Brooklyn performed the ceremony. He said Piazza was nervous “like a regular groom, but he’s okay.”
