"One of your favorite cards from the 2000s."
2001 Upper Deck Darin Erstad #46 - this was one of those cards that gave a snapshot of what a player was like.
Erstad, the No. 1 overall pick in 1995, had a reputation as a gamer - his batting stats weren't overwhelming except for 2000, where he racked up 240 hits and had a .355 batting average, but I always thought he was a tough out who grinded out at-bats.
Erstad had a solid career... but damn that 2000 season was an outlier.
