Helluva run.  Bummed that he won't get that big fan sendoff on Sunday.  I imagine the Royals will do something top shelf for Gordon in terms of a video montage.  Incredibly impressive the way he was able to reinvent his career and not only hang on but turn into arguably the best defensive LF in the game.

The pressure for Gordo to become the "next George Brett" had to be tough on him early in his career.  His move to LF allowed him to be his own player.  There was a stretch where Gordo was among the top outfielders in terms of WAR each year, mostly based on his defense.  

Sad day. Gordo was a great player and representative of Nebraska and we were lucky to watch him succeed at a high level for so long. Hope he enjoys transitioning to the next phase of his life.

Sincerely,

A Mets fan still pissed about that 2015 World Series
