Greg Gagne (baseball player)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gregory Carpenter Gagne (GAG-nee) (born November 12, 1961 in Fall River, Massachusetts) is a former shortstop in Major League Baseball. He played 10 seasons for the Minnesota Twins from 1983 to 1992, including both of the Twins' World Series championship teams in 1987 and 1991. Gagne's relationship with the team soured significantly after the 1992 season, when his contract was up; the team put a great deal of resources into re-signing superstar Kirby Puckett and could not offer Gagne what he felt his skills were worth. Because of this and other claimed grievances with the club, Gagne subsequently signed with the Kansas City Royals as a free agent. After three unremarkable years with the Royals he went to the Los Angeles Dodgers for the 1996 and 1997 seasons, and subsequently retired. During his tenure with the Twins, Gagne lived in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. He currently lives in Somerset, Massachusetts and is the head baseball coach at Bishop Feehan High School.
