This will go down as a sad day in baseball lore.  In this day and age a player of Bagwell's caliber does not come around all that often and for the Astros, who he has been more than dedicated to, try and turn him into an insurance is beyond me.  They could at least offer him a front office/coaching position or just leave him on the DL to see if he can come back.  They owe him at least that much.  It's very interesting that they finally make it to the Series and now, one of their most popular and dedicated players, has been thrown by the wayside.  Hopefully he catches on with another AL team so he can make it back to the Series and finally win one.  Sorry to vent, I just hate the way that baseball is going in this respect.
