• PannerVision: Emerson Frostad Gets Tased

• 2/14/9: Calgary hopeful eyes MLB promotion "It's a moment Greg Maddux likely doesn't remember, but one Emerson Frostad will never forget. It's been almost two years since Frostad, a Calgary product climbing the ranks in the Texas Rangers system, ripped a double off the four-time Cy Young winner and sure-thing Hall-of-Famer in a spring training outing, but his voice still bubbles with enthusiasm as he recounts the tale. "That was definitely a highlight," Frostad said. "(Maddux) tried to throw a fastball in and I hit a double down the right field line ... I don't even think I could feel my feet touching the ground. I was pretty jittery. It was pretty exciting."

It's a different kind of baseball. Everybody comes together real quick and you're playing for your country, so there's a lot of pride involved. And it's all about winning, so everybody's pulling for each other and trying to win at all costs."

He helped the Goldpanners win the league title and advance to the National Baseball Congress World Series in Wichita, Kan.   Fairbanks placed 11th but Frostad played well, batting .380, and the Rangers took notice... "I decided I would go back to school but they had seen me play again after we decided that," Frostad said. "They liked what they saw and kind of changed their minds at the last minute."
