Eric Gagne is no longer a Dodger. How sad is that? And even though Eric spent most of the last two seasons on the bench with injuries, I am going to miss him tremendously. Dirty hat, un tucked jersey and all. Eric Gagne is absolutely brilliant to watch in action. He would be brought in to WIN the game, usually with about a dozen 98mph pitches. Stunning site to behold! Gagne holds the major league record for consecutive saves--84! and he won the Cy Young--rare for a reliever!--in 2003. He is considered statistically to be the most outstanding closer in the game.
I will miss the GAME OVERs flashing at the stadium, the bearded tee shirt bearing the same message, and I will TRULY miss Vin Scully proclaiming, "Bienvenue Monsieur Gagne!" That was one of the best parts.
Au revoir Monsieur Gagne...
bonne chance pour tout...

Before we moved in the OC the summer before I started kindergarten, we lived in Northridge and I went to MANY Dodger games. When I was 5 I could name ALL of the Dodgers and their positions. I learned the National Anthem from baseball games and the Canadian Anthem from Kings games!
