Eric Gagne Ends Comeback Attempt After 3.2 Innings with Long Island Ducks

Eric Gagne's attempted comeback to professional baseball is over.

The 2003 Cy Young winner confirmed to SB Nation's Chris Cotillo that he will formally end his playing career in order to focus on coaching.

Gagne last pitched in MLB for the Milwaukee Brewers in 2008. The 41-year-old recorded 187 saves over his 10-year MLB career. During his peak years with the Los Angeles Dodgers, he was one of the best closers in baseball. Between 2002 and 2004, he had a 1.79 ERA and a 1.57 FIP with 152 saves, according to Baseball-Reference.com.

Gagne's 55 saves in 2003 tied John Smoltz's National League record.
