Season II Exp 51- In the FIRE with Eric Gagne

54 minutes

In this week's Father's of the Future Experience, Luke is joined by former Major League Baseball World Champion, Cy Young winner and 3-time All-Star, Eric Gagne. Eric played 10 seasons in the BIG SHOW with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Texas Rangers, Boston Red Socks, and Milwaukee Brewers.

Eric's SAVAGE style on the mound and league-leading [55] saves in 2003 with the Dodger's earned him the RUTHLESS nickname GAME OVER.

Eric talks about how his father instilled hard work and an ALL IN approach to life with a quote to live by: “make sure that when you do something, do it as hard as you can, as long as you can, as best as you can.”
