Newsday was unable to reach Piazza for comment, but the newspaper reported that former teammates Al Leiter and John Franco were among those on the guest list.
According to Newsday, Piazza also once dated Playmate Darlene Bernaola. He has also fended off rumors that he was gay, and once held a press conference to deny the rumors.
Piazza said at the time: "I'm not gay. The truth is that I'm heterosexual and date women."
