Doug Padilla: Erstad's ankle
A reader recently inquired about Darin Erstad's injured right ankle. Specifically, he wanted to know if Erstad's time as a punter at Nebraska could have contributed to the ankle joint irritation that has him on the disabled list. So the question was posed to the Angels' medical staff.
The answer from head trainer Ned Bergert was that indeed Erstad's career as a punter (he also kicked off) could have contributed. The extended answer is that all of the athletic endeavors Erstad pursued in his younger years are the likely reason he is suffering now.
In addition to baseball and football, Erstad played youth hockey growing up in North Dakota and also participated in track and field. As Bergert put it, you only have so many miles on the tires.
There is your answer Edward Larkin. Thanks for reading.
