From the diamond to the pitch - Chef Gagne - 2024-09-29
Alexis "Chef" Gagne is well known throughout the American southeast for his baseball acumen, particularly his talent for defense as starting centerfielder for the Florida Flamingos minor league squad. Now in his third season with the Flamingos, Gagne has garnered attention for his slick glovework and mindful - if not prolific - approach to hitting. His resume already has some shine to it, as he has earned an allstar-game nod as well as a championship ring with the Flamingos from season 48. Gagne is also well known for his work behind the line of his family's creole restaurant back home. When Gagne isn't shagging flies or working on his swing, you can find him chopping vegetables and making sauces for the family business. Outside of special events, he has been banned from regular service as the restaurant features an open kitchen and his celebrity status can spark a chaotic level of distraction for the rest of the staff.
As if one full time professional sports career and a chef's role wasn't enough, Gagne has decided to ply his trade on the football pitch as well. After a few stints in semi-pro ball back in the states, Gagne proved himself to be best suited for the role of an attacking midfielder. His centerfielder instincts translated well to the pitch, and he has proven to be the type of player who knows his role, stays in position, and sees himself as a professional distributor of the football on attack, a true striker's best friend.
