And there is no single guy who epitomizes the toughness of the Angels more than
first baseman Darin Erstad.

Here we go.

He's not the best player.

You're right. He's not the best player. He hit seven home runs all year. Seven.
609 AB. Seven home runs. From first base.

He's not even the most valuable player on that team.

Good. Vlad Guerrero is. Darin Erstad OBPed .325 and slugged .371. All year.

But no one means more to the Angels than Erstad.

You are an unprecedented moron. Actually, I take that back. Many, many people
have said this about Darin Erstad. What is it about this guy that makes sports
media figures absolutely adore him? Is it his football background? He was a
punter. He looks very rugged, I'll give you that.

This guy is the ultimate red ass.

The following players had a higher OPS than Darin Erstad this year:

Russ Adams
Craig Counsell
Greg Zaun
Every Major League First Baseman

That's right: in the major leagues, no regular first baseman had a lower OPS than Darin Erstad.


He is the ultimate gamer and competitor. A guy that will do absolutely anything
and everything to win a ball game. He grinds every single at bat like it's the
most important at bat of his whole career.

Of major league first basemen, Erstad finished 24th in walks, with 47.

He's athletic.

He did steal an incredible 10 bases this year.

He's a flat-out whiz with the leather at first base. There aren't five guys in
the bigs who make that game-ending play last night.

Doug Mientkiewicz
Derrek Lee
J.T. Snow
John Olerud
Travis Lee
Todd Helton
