Eric Gagne was an awesome reliever for a couple teams over his career but is most remembered for winning the NL Cy Young as a Dodger. His career ended as a member of the Brewer’s bullpen. I acquired a couple scorecards from Lanny Frattare’s broadcasting career that intersected Gagne’s career. Gagne had a signing with Jim F (jimfalbo21 on SCN) so I sent them in to the signing. Today they arrived on my front step. Yes, on a Sunday. Yeah USPS! Both scorecards were signed exactly where I wanted, with what pen I wanted, and with what inscriptions I wanted. I now have a scorecard from these two games in my collection:
09.24.2008 Pirates @ Brewers with “Last MLB Hold #12”
09.25.2008 Pirates @ Brewers with “Final MLB Game 718th MLB K”
The scorecard for the 25th was not completed by Lanny but it shows the final line from newspaper clippings taped to the scorecard.
