Was one of Nebraska's greatest players EVER. First Team All-American, and the 'First Pick in the First Round of the 1995 MLB Draft' of the Angels. Darin crafted a 14 year MLB career,, predominantly with the Angels, plus the White Sox, and Houston. His amazing career was shortened only by injuries caused by always playing with reckless abandon. He was a two time All-Star and received votes to be inducted in the Cooperstown Baseball HOF. Darin was a hero in the Angels 2002 World Series Championship year, and had a season for the ages in 2000. He smashed out 240 hits, banged 25 homers, and knocked in 100 runs, all while batting lead off. He was the only player in MLB history to win Gold Gloves from 2 different positions. Who does that? Out of the 20,533 players as of 10/11/2023 who have played MLB, yes there was only one...Darin Charles Erstad. |
