    For two years my father and I traveled around and went to different games and stadiums, eventually getting to around 38 stadiums (we caught a lot of teams at their last year at some historic older places), and then their first year at their current park. Going to Dodger Stadium and seeing the "Game Over" sign was as electric as I remember a park getting. Outside of seeing the last few games at Tiger Stadium in Detroit, seeing this goggled goofball was one of the best high points I can ever remember.

  • @PanicButton42
    @PanicButton42 Před 4 lety +1

    I loved Gagne when he was with the Dodgers. Back when he was trying to make the team as a starter, I always hoped they would make him a reliever. His main issue as a starter was that effectiveness would greatly diminish (moreso than normal) each time he would go through the lineup, especially his third time through a lineup. Nowadays that wouldn't be such a big deal since managers go to the bullpen earlier and earlier the past few seasons, but back then a starter was expected to eat up as many innings as possible. Once he only had to see batters once in a game he was absolutely lights out and it showed.

    Gagne was a revelation in 2002. I remember him at St. Louis getting out of a bases loaded, no outs jam. And in Baltimore, he gave up a lead-off triple, and then got out of it by striking out a couple batters. Every time he came in, you expected at least two Ks. We went crazy for him. His curve was unfair, and his fastball almost untouchable. It was so much fun to watch him ... even if he was in the report.

    You know why Eric Gagne 55 saves in 2003 but his team only won 85 games.
    The Dodgers offense that season was so horrible but their pitching staff was so good that they entered the 9th inning a majority of the time leading like 2-1, 4-2, or 3-2.
    They were possibly the worst 85 win team ever, but without Eric Gagne always locking down every save they would’ve been so much worse!
