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.

When I was a young boy my father took our family to a Milwaukee Brewer’s baseball game. Being my first experience with professional baseball, I asked about the rules of the game. He told me that each batter got three strikes, and then they were out. I asked my father what it mean to be ‘out.’ His answer to my question was “They don’t get to bat any more.”

In my child’s mind, “They don’t get to bat any more.” translated into “They are kicked off the team and never get to play pro level baseball again.”

This resulting in me believing that baseball was a very hard game, and I felt very sad for the players who struck out. This all led to mass confusion when the batting order came around to them again.

I used to be stupid.
