Watch: Former Dodgers All-Star Eric Gagne Makes a Slight Comeback
At a time when we’re all fiending for baseball (and definitely our Dodgers), the content is definitely getting harder to come by. The last time the Dodgers suited up was on March 11 — thankfully they took down the Brewers at Camelback Ranch by a final of 4-1.

The 44-year-old former closer last pitched in the big leagues in 2008 for Milwaukee. He last pitched for the Dodgers in 2006, save for a brief appearance in 2010 as a minor league free agent in spring training.

At first glance you really want to say “man, he’s still got it!” Then he bounces his first pitch. Still, the 2003 NL Cy Young award winner looks to be having fun being back on the mound. Perhaps one key element missing in all of this is his signature walkout music “Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns N’ Roses.
