that picture makes me sad
me too
first picture that Rev posted that made me think ""damn, I REALLY miss that guy"
At least he looks happy
Maybe it's because he's wearing something close to red and he is away from that crazy Ozzie Guillen.
Funny...........
"Don't Mess With Erstad"
Is it me?
Or does Ersty look like Jack Bauer in that pic?
Some fond Ersty memories
  • Hitting a come from behind, extra inning, game winning 2-run double in April 2002
  • His kamikaze dives in center (too many to mention)
  • catching the final out in '02 and raising his arms to the sky
  • and of course his laser solo jack in game 6
i miss that guy....
...talk about grit. He will remain my favorite all time angel for a long time to come.
Indeed
I Still proudly wear my Erstad #17 T-shirt
Man...
he'd be a great mascot right now.

Oh...

The Astros signed him to PLAY?

Pass.

I loved when
Ersty made that hit, and everyone started saying it's because he was a football player, and his response was something like - It had nothing to do with football, I was a kicker.

I also loved how he'd mutter at the plate. It looked like he was just repeating, "C'mon, c'mon, c'mon..."

Never Forget
That diving backhanded catch in left field at yankee staduim back in the "Winged A" logo days.
I hate seeing these pics of him in other uniforms
Although, the Astros uniform is easier to take than the White Sux uniform last year.

I know he'd be the 6th outfielder on our roster, but I still irrationally wish he was on the team.
