News From Bagwellbabe...
This is just past
news on Jeff. Now that he's in happy retirement, I'm afraid there will no longer be "recent" news, but I wanted
to leave this section up anyways for memories. =)

Hello there. I no longer use internet explorer browser, which is where I have this site
bookmarked unfortunately. However, I will bookmark it now on firefox just to check in from time to time. It's always great
to see some nice feedback :) Please don't hestitate to send me a note sometime. I'd love to meet more Bagwell fans!

THANKS FOR THE GREAT FEEDBACK!
WOW... it's been a long time, sorry. I didn't expect this site to grab so much attention. It was initially
set up for an Astros group I was a part of. However, due to some great feedback.... i've decided to maintenance the
site more often and keep better track of it. Of course I'm always keeping track of my Baggie. Unfortunately at
this point in his career, he and the Astros organization have come to a crossroad. It's unfortunate that it has come
to this...after all the time and loyalty Bagwell has put into this team. However, we shall see what happens next.
I'm supporting him 100%. Bagwell knows his limits and I'm sure he will not do anything to embarrass himself. We'll
just have to see how spring training goes....

Bagwell to undergo shoulder surgery
First baseman expected to miss approximately three months
HOUSTON -- For three years, Jeff Bagwell played baseball with
mind-numbing pain after arthritis crept into his right shoulder following the 2001 surgery that repaired his torn labrum....
That day arrived on May 4 when Bagwell took himself out
of the lineup and eventually went on the disabled list six days later. On Sunday, the Houston Astros announced Bagwell will
undergo a procedure in early June called an arthroscopic capsular release. Recovery time is expected to take approximately
three months, and Bagwell is hopeful he will be able to return to the field late this season.
Full story below.

Jeff Bagwell will spend offseason working on batting stance...
There was an article on the Astros website by Alison Footer, I thought was interesting.
Mainly she talked about his contract and what he was doing this offseason to prepare for 2005 Season:
"He's going to spend the offseason tweaking
his batting stance and swing to better fit his diminished upper body strength. He will work to eliminate the hitch in his
swing that forces him to drop the bat head and then raise it back up as he tries to get under the ball. Instead, he will adopt
a straighter swing and will not squat as low as he has for the last 10 years. If this works, there's no reason to believe
he won't be able to contribute as the No. 3 hitter."

Congratulations to Jeff Bagwell in earning a spot in the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame,
