Spent a good portion of the evening last night at a very popular Pasadena nightclub. While I was hanging out I noticed several Dodgers were also in attendance - with all-world closer Eric Gagne among them.

I was next to them for 2-3 hours and amazingly, not one person came up to the hulking Gagne (or anyone in the entire group) and said anything. No comments, free drink offers and/or autograph requests. None.

I guess it was a good thing for those guys but it’s also kind of strange - and sad. Hard to believe that the Montreal Mountain Man, who was arguably the second-best player in the National League last year, garners zero public notice from Angelenos.

I don’t know if it’s a commentary on the laissez-faire attitude of Dodger fans or merely more evidence of the erosion of fan support that baseball has suffered in the last decade.
