An interesting Mike Trout stat.

I loved Erstad, but he lived off that one season for the rest of his career. After 2000, he was sort of a black hole in the lineup... not ever coming close to those numbers again.  Great competitor, great glove, great attitude - but he didn't give the lineup much ever again.  His reputation was greater than his actual abilities.  Fans loved him, but the analytics on him weren't good.

True

 

But that year he was an absolute beast

In fairness to him, he was always looked down on because his numbers as a 1B. If they would have left him in CF, he would have been considered differently I think

I hate to say it, but Ersty was most likely roided up in 2000.

I'll overlook any negatives about Erstad since he, along with Spiezio, had one of the biggest hits in Angels history. His leadoff blast in the 8th inning of Game 6 kept that rally going.

Did Erstad ever hit .420 in 69 at bats?

If not, I don't give a shit.

Agreed. His HR gets totally overshadowed by Speeze, and its a shame.

Speeze made it "were still in this!" Erstad made it "were gonna win!"
