Shhhhhh – we’re going hunting for a very endangered species, a creature seen so rarely that we would be fortunate just to catch a mere glimpse of it. An individual who enjoys hockey, goggles and sucky pitching. This species is easily recognizable by its distinctive call, “How aboot that blown save, eh?” Of course, I’m talking about The Eric Gagne Fan.
It was thought that any of these animals who were left migrated westward towards the green pastures of Wisconsin — but apparently, one of their number was left behind here in New England, because Amanda was lucky enough to capture one on film last week.
Take heart, fellow explorers! There are still Eric Gagne Fans to be found! Who knew?
Aaahhhh the horror! But believe me, there are definitely no Gagme fans in Wisconsin. Just when you thought he had ceased sucking by recording two consecutive scoreless appearances(!), he blows a hold or two or three…
too funny – I saw not just a regular 83 t-shirt but the full-on expensive jersey at a Dodger’s game and laughed my ass off. Glad I’m not the only one who thought it was funny!
And I thought I should be embarrassed for buying a Kevin Cash shirt. Good to know someone is being made fun of more than me…
this definitely needs to get x-posted to this site on hunting rare jerseys. to bring astonishment to the masses etc. etc. amen.
I was just in the right place at the right time. I could not believe the guy showed up wearing that thing at the ballpark. Okay, granted, it was Pawtucket, not Boston, but still. What is wrong with people?
That guy also has a Red Sox – Rudy Seanez tshirt in the mix
Indeed, a very rare occurrence to find this species in the daylight much less the north.
Some wiseass is cracking up after giving this ignorant, unsuspecting guy that shirt – you know, like sticking a “Kick me” sign him.
There are still Gagne fans? Wow…
And if that isn’t bad enough, those shirts are still being sold in the (Red Sox) MLB shop.

That they are still selling those shirts at full price is a testament to just how out-of-it MLB really is.
I think he might have bought it at a store that was sold out of every other red sox payer ever, so he just settled. Although I know I’d never settle for a Gag-me shirt…
I was at a Paw Sox game July 3 and I saw a guy with a Gagne shirt, too! It wasn’t the same guy because the guy I saw looked about 23.
I pointed it out to my neighbor and he goes “maybe he’s retarded!” but he had that Boston accent that made it “retahded”. It was too funny. :)
