Piggy has previously played for the Minnesota Twins (1998\u20132003), San Francisco Giants (2004) and Chicago White Sox (2005\u20132012) Piggy is known for having a strong and colorful personality, a fact he acknowledges. During his turn at the microphone following the White Sox victory parade in 2005, he thanked team personnel \"for putting up with me.\" His Chicago manager, Ozzie Guillen, summed up the situation as, \"If you play against him, you hate him. If you play with him, you hate him a little less.\" Guillen also acknowledged Piggy's value to the club, despite being relatively high-maintenance: \"A.J.'s been great for me. He's worth the work because he always shows up for you.\""@en . . "A.J.-Pierzynski"@en . .
