Darrel Akerfelds Oakland A's 1986
Darrel Akerfelds was a right handed pitcher, drafted in the first round in 1983 by the Seattle Mariners. Darrel went to Oakland soon after with Bill Caudill for catcher Bob Kearney and reliever Dave Beard. He got a brief debut with the A's in '86, a year when Oakland was trying one pitcher after another. Darrel then moved on to the pitching-poor '87 Indians and made his contribution to the worst staff ERA since the '62 Mets. He got a few innings with the '89 Texas Rangers, had one good year and one bad year in relief for the Phillies, and was done. This is the first image I have seen of Akerfelds in his brief time with the A's.
