Gagne vs. Gagne

LJ just can't seem to keep his Gagnes in order:

When I was a young kid, I was a big AWA wrestling fan. There was a wrestler at the time named Greg Gagne (pronounced gone ya), son of famed wrestler Vern Gagne. Well it just so happened around the same time there was a baseball player for the Minnesota Twins named Greg Gagne (pronounced gag nee). Well as a kid I was convinced they were the same person and I wondered how it was possible for one guy to be a professional wrestler along with being a professional baseball player.

A special FYI for LJ: Bo Jackson & Deion Sanders were each really one person. We figured out how to get the same person into multiple sports by the 1990s.

    Sure both of them weren't really just the Greg Gagne that is assistant computer science professor at Westminster College in disguise?
