his three outfield mates, Erstad said
he has learned a lot from them.
“They know the game very well.
They know exactly what to do in each
situation,” he said. “They are very
good at reading hitters as far as their
tendencies and what they are going to
do.”
Anderson, Salmon and Edmonds
combined, only have six-plus years of
Major League experience. With the
addition of Erstad, the Angels starting
outfield remains relatively young.
The Hall-of-Famer Carew has fine
tuned Erstad’s swing a bit. Working
with perhaps the greatest hitting fun
damentalist of all-time is a thrill, Erstad
said.
“He gets you so locked in at the
plate mentally,” Erstad said. “Having
a plan going up to the plate really
helps you have better at-bats, and if he
sees something mechanical with your
swing that is wrong, he’ll give you a
little pointer.
“He’s one to work with your swing,
he’s not going to try and change you
up too much.”
Erstad, whose role as a leadoff
hitter is to set the table for Edmonds,
Salmon and Chili Davis, — the 3-4-5
hitters — said if he gets his job done
the others usually follow.
If things don’t work out and Erstad
does end up back in Vancouver, it
won’t hurt his career progress. Mak
ing it to the major leagues with less
than 100 games of minor league expe
rience is almost unheard of today.
“Even if they would have sent me
down I would have still been confi
dent,” he said. “Obviously this is where
you want to be. You don’t work your
whole life to play Triple-A baseball.
You want to be here and I’m glad I am
still here.”
Hometown fans
Besides following Erstad as fans
his first couple of nights in Anaheim,
the whole state of North Dakota has
been interested in Erstad’s brief ca
reer. Interest has been also high in
Lincoln about his progression as a
big-league player.
In fact, the Kansas City Royals are
offering a special “Nebraska Day at
the Royals” at Kaufmann Stadium
September 14.
Fans can get a $2 discount on all
tickets except general admission seats.
Tickets will be available from August
1 to August 26 at the Nebraska ticket
office, or can be purchased by phone.
“Everybody is so excited for me
and so supportive and wanting to know
what’s going on.” Erstad said of his
family, friends and fans. “They want
to call me. They want to talk to me but
it’s just not possible.
“It’s to a point now, where I can’t
please everybody, but I just want them
to know that I appreciate all the sup
port. I know they know I appreciate it,
but I don’t think they know how
much.”
His playing days at Buck Beltzer
Field and Memorial Stadium seem
like a long time ago, even though it
has been just a little more than 13
months since Erstad was playing base
ball in a scarlet and cream uniform.
“It seems just like yesterday, but
it’s hard to imagine now where I am
at, that I was doing that last year,” he
said. “I have very fond memories.
One day when I am all done I can look
back and smile at them.”
